boycotting christmas

i decide to boycott Christmas
this year.

no tree.
no lights.
no wreathe,
no ornaments.

i'm having a commercial
free Christmas.

no mention of santa.
no stockings hung.

no eggnog, or caroling.

no last minute shopping
spree,
either in the stores
or online.

no greeting cards,
no mistletoe.

no watching it's a wonderful
life.

no looking out at
the sky
for a sled
and reindeer.

no weeping, no wishing
that things were different.

just joy and gratitude
and a prayerful
silent night.
