This is a poem by Linda Doucett that I hope you was fun and hope you enjoy.

'Twas the eve before Christmas.

I left it too late.

The shelves are all bare.

Oh, why did I wait?

I swore I'd shop early,

I clearly remember,

And be done with it all

By the first of December.

But now here I am

With picked-over stock.

The boxes are crumpled

On the Marvel knockoffs.

Sweaters too big,

Slippers too small.

The pushing the grabbing,

Get me out of this mall.

I will stop at the drug store

And purchase a card

And fill it with money.

Why make life hard?

It always fits

And suits everyone's taste.

No need to wrap…
