Merry Christmas

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
and folks dressed up like eskimos.

Doesn't feel like Christmas this year, does it? Actually, it hasn't felt like Christmas for quite some while. From terrorist threats, to SARS, to the gloomy economy, to war and more war.. I have no idea what the world is coming to.

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
will find it hard to sleep tonight.

Gave a quick glance at the clock as i skipped into the train, jeez, i'm late again, as usual. I looked around the train as i slowly put on my earphones- sadden face after sadden face. Good griefs, it's Christmas Day guys. Cheer up already. I jacked up the volume of my mp3 player.

They know that Santa's on his way -
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
and everymother's child is gonna spy
to see if reindeer really know how to fly.

My body started to sway to the charming voice of Nat King Cole. Eyes swerve in my direction as two kids let out a little chuckle. I winked, as mouthed the words, "Merry Christmas~". Their Mom smiled back while the kids wailed, "Merrrrrry X'masssy!". Now, that's the spirit people.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
to kids from one to ninety-two
Although its been said many times,
many ways- Merry Christmas to you.

Happy holidays, everyone. Me, i'll be hanging around the mistletoe tonight, hoping to be kissed.*winks*
