Merry Christmas

‘Tis hard to be merry this holiday season
 When it seems that we lack any voice of reason.
 Chaos unfolding is the order of the day
 And it doesn’t seem like we have any say.

 The weather is frightful, the traffic is bad;
 The shopping is a disaster with no gifts to be had.
 Your body is filled with back aches and knee pain,
 And the carols you hear are driving you insane.

 It’s enough to make you unhappy and sad
 Or rage at everything because you’re so mad.
 But your life is your own, you decide how you feel,
 And how you treat others is a very big deal.

 There’s always someone who is worse off than you,
 So don’t wallow in pity and expect us to boohoo.
 Find a good cause or help someone in need;
 Few things make you feel better than doing a good deed.

 So get up and dance though you have two left feet;
 You’ll never find your groove if you stay in your seat.
 Sing a song really loud even if it’s way out of tune,
 ‘Cause the music will stop playing for us far too soon.

 Choose happiness now, it won’t just appear,
 And spread some of that joy to someone you hold dear.
 Keep warmth in your heart and make your soul kind,
 It will really do wonders for your own peace of mind.

 So slow down and enjoy a bit of holiday cheer,
 Make all of your giving heartfelt and sincere.
 Embrace the season and appreciate the fuss,
 And don’t forget to have a merry Christmas from us.
