‘Tis the season to be
Jolly, joyous, ho ho ho.
But I feel more like
Sorry, friends, but no
No, no – I just don’t think so.
All the fun, all the
Joy, all the very
Merry Christmas cheery bell-
Ringing happy types
Can usually
Count me in their number, but
Not this year, not when
Everything seems to
Stress me out, mess me up, dress
Me down. This year I
Feel anti-Christmas,
Anti-social, anti-fun.
Yep, I’ve got the blues,
The Christmas blues.

I had the Christmas blues–what put it in perspective for me is the awful tragedy in Connecticut–I am grateful my family and friends are safe and sound

Indeed. I am beyond grateful for my family and friends, and I’ve had a few reminders of just how lucky I am, aside from the Connecticut tragedy, this week. All I could do last night was hug my kids and, when we told the older two what had happened, they didn’t understand. At all.
In a weird way, I was grateful for that, too, because at least they’re still a little bit innocent. I hope they can hold onto that innocence for as long as possible.

It really is. And in this day and age, it seems that innocence is lost sooner and sooner.

Look on the bright side. It’ll be over soon. and if the Mayan calendar is correct – very soon.

Ah, but according to the internet, which, as we all know, is infallible, the Mayans didn’t account for Leap Year and the world should have ended seven months ago.
I think I just needed a good night’s sleep. Things are looking brighter already.

Well that’s okay, then. Having the planet destroyed has just got to ruin Christmas.

Loved your poem. I am not fond of the holidays (especially Christmas) — supposed to be family — but it is no longer since a rift began years ago. Just be grateful for what you have and think about people who are less fortunate than you are and tell yourself things can be worse. Stop listening to the news will help too — and hug your family tight and be grateful you have a family to hug.
Cheer up and have a Merry Christmas anyway despite the horrible news and just be grateful for what you have!
Marisa Meissa and Rooster Lady Sister wishes you and everyone a Merry Christmas! May we ALL have a better New Year 2013 in all categories!

I’ve got a family rift of my own forming at the moment. Between that and dealing with exes and the inevitable stress of traveling and cleaning and preparing for the arrival of the in-laws, maybe it’s no wonder I’m feeling blue. But like I said before, maybe I just needed a good night’s sleep. Last week was rather a rough week.
