Christmas

A Poem by AllauraRose
"

How I feel about Christmas...

"
Christmas time
The season when your family gets together
To celebrate and follow years of traditions
But you may not feel that way

The joy has now left when Christmas comes around
No more dying anticipation of wanting to tear open your presents
Not wanting anything 
 Nor seeming happy when you get anything

Drowning in this holiday 
Nostalgia is nowhere near you
The faint memories of Christmas seem pointless
But you act like you have fun

You want to stop with all the nonsense 
Acting like Santa is real for your siblings 
But honestly, they are old enough for the truth

Yet I spend so much money on others
When this holiday only lasts two days
Then the 26th rolls around and no more fun and games
So whats the point of Christmas?

Family, I see them all year
Joy, we have other holidays too
If you think joy comes from possessions then you're wrong
It comes from family and pure happiness

So is that why we celebrate Christmas?
For family?
Yet they buy us stuff at Christmas
So everyone confuses the two
