On the first day of December, there’s not a lot of stress
There’s lots of time for shopping, the house can stay a mess
The stores for weeks been beckoning with sales that can’t be beat
The city trees are strung with lights and line both sides of street
The Christmas songs drone overhead, and blast our airpods too
Mariah tells us every hour that all she wants is you
There’s warmth in eyes, and joy in hearts, the countdown now begins
Anticipation for arriving distance-challenged kin
I’ve made a list and checked it twice, to keep me right on track
It’s best to be prepared for all the chores that soon will stack
But just for now, I’ll chill, relax, and decorate the tree
For time goes quick, in blink of eye, in thick of it I’ll be!
