If I can just get through Christmas – said that 3 years in a row-

Things they are a changin’ more than he will ever know.

Gifts to be wrapped, cards to be sent-

My time is limited with him much time is spent.

We are told to turn down our holiday doing-

It’s hard to keep it simple without a’stewing!

I try to include him – much to no avail-

He tries to partake, but often leads to a fail.

He has little perception – he truly cannot see-

He used to delight in trimming the tree!

I’m selfish – Christmas is my favorite time of the year-

Being with our kids & grandkids, we do cheer!

Keeping in touch with old friends & new-

Our world is expanded if only for a month or two!

Baking cookies & candy & sending them off-

I don’t want to stop doing that nor will I scoff!

Celebrating our Lords Birthday on Christmas Eve-

Has been a family tradition, we thought we conceived!

Our Lord has blessed us was beyond measure-

Tone down Christmas?  Well – it is my pleasure!!!!!
