Two weeks before Christmas and all through the house
Not gift wrapped or cookie for my spouse.
The children made lists with such care,
but going to the mall, I do not dare.
The cards are still in a box,
next to the yarn for some socks.
The tree is up, but not an ornament in sight
thank goodness the fake thing came with a built in light.
I feel rushed and confused,
my credit card I will abuse.
Perhaps this year my letter will get to St. Nick.
Lord knows I need him to arrive quick.
Perhaps I should get to work, not a moment to spare,
The holidays will come with great fanfare.
So no more complaints or fear,
the holidays of our Lord's birth are near.
To the mall I will go,
children and husband in tow.
Gifts I will give,
to those with whom I live.
So shop, bake, address and mail times four
because the holidays are upon us once more.

Too cute! I love the yarn for socks part.
I love the the words. I am also like you. I do need to get everything done by Tuesday next week since after that I will be once again disabled with my other hand this time and the carpal tunnel. Yet another medical procedure. So think of me at 3:00 on Tuesday as they start. Hopefully will get all my towels embroidered by then and get Maari's christmas stocking done on the knitting machine. I think that sleep will be an option from now until Tuesday.
