Shop 'Til You Drop!!

The Christmas shopping season
Has officially begun,
And post-Thanksgiving shoppers
Are now all on the run!

Pushing and shoving,
There's a SALE to get to!
I'm telling you, it's crazy,
The mall's become a ZOO!

Kiddies of all ages and temper
Some wide eyed with glee
Others squawking and screaming -
Make this a joyous shopping spree!

Santa's here for photos today
So even baby's been dragged along
To pose for holiday pictures -
Or to cry and scream for mom...

The merry Christmas carols
Have now all been drowned out
By multitudes of bratty children
Chaotically gallivanting about.

Grumpy hubbies and boytoys
Are forced to follow in tow
Because the misses won't stand
To hear them answer "No."

They're whipping out their wallets
And carting loads of gifts,
Then muttering to themselves
As they assess all the debts.

It's sure to cause a headache
And a pair of sore feet too...
What a lousy, painfull thing
We're putting ourselves through!

Actually though... You know what?
I think I can preserve my holiday cheer...
Because I'm gonna say "Forget it!
I'm doing my shopping online this year!!"
