My Inner Scrooge Appears

Have you ever started out
on the "nice" list,
and tripped
and
Fell
smack dab
onto the
"naughty" list?

I tell myself,
I Want to be nice...

Then,
after too many cookies,
too, too few quiet moments
of reflecting on
why we celebrate Christmas
anyway...

Anyway,
there I go
snapping, and
biting someone's head
off.

So, I just want
to say I'm
Sorry.
Forgive me,
as He has forgiven
Us.

And
Please, have a
Merry Christmas
of
Peace and
Goodwill
Toward All!
Amen.
