I always do my shopping at oultet stores each year,
But oh no, this year none of my usual gifts are here
Other people have caught on to this shopping craze
I hope it's just a phase.
I want them to go to their usual shopping places,
Why do they look at me with their smiilng faces?
Don't they know they've stolen all of my gifts?
I guess little Suzy won't be getting anything from her wish list.
Instead, she'll get some candy.
That's all that's left, isn't that dandy?
Please go away and get out of my store.
I don't want you here any more.
You see, I want to be the who is saving money,
So, no more shopping here for you, honey.
I guess I can share if you do me a favor.
Wait until I shop, so my savings, I can savor.
Tis the season to be jolly, and to share,
As long as I'm done shopping, get what you want, I don't care.  

*thought this might give you all a laugh.  I'm not really this selfish.  Well, not around this time of year anyway.     Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Shelly! Thank you for the smile and brings to mind something my dad once said, "Love is the only Christmas present that is a joy to return..." Have a good one!
