November quickly slips into December
My days rush by too fast
The holiday season is here again 
Somehow I yearn for the past 
When it was simple to meet expectations
An easy time to bring on a smile
No devices to always be checking
Three channels to tune on the dial 

House decked out with candles
Fresh greens and a tree 
Little children - their eyes open wide 
Sitting on Santa's knee 
Pennies and Apples filled my stocking 
We sang carols; kin came aknocking
Brother and sister father and mother 
Gathered round tables to be with each other 

The season's way more than shopping and stresses 
Deeper than tinsel or holiday dresses 
More than trite greetings or worn out regards 
Sent out in bulk in mass produced cards 
Holiday spirit requires deep reflection 
To accept in ourselves that human connection 

When did Christmas balloon into a season 
That starts before Halloween 
Where shopping for gifts became the main reason 
And Good Tidings were lost in between? 
When did holiday feelings become 
Blinking lights and bright decorations? 
When did gift cards and loud party fun 
Take the place of our alms and oblations 

The season's way more than shopping and stresses 
Deeper than tinsel or holiday dresses 
More than trite greetings or worn out regards 
Sent out in bulk in mass produced cards 
Holiday spirit requires deep reflection 
To accept in ourselves that human connection 

Do you accept that connection?
