Poetry Monday :: Never Say Never and/or Christmas/Hanukkah

Every Monday is Poetry Monday. Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings and I have taken over the hosting duties, mostly the supplying of the prompts - only temporarily we hope - while Diane at On the Border is taking a break for health and relaxation. We hope to hear from Diane soonish.

  I have something to ask of you: If you read this and the poetry of others via the links, would you please leave a comment.
  Half - if not more - the fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.

Today's prompt is Never say never /  Christmas/Hanukkah
My really pissed of poem comes after a couple of days where first a teacher ended in a shitstorm for telling her pupils that santa does not exists, then I went to a second hand place to shop for Christmas ornaments. I found: Santas, elfs, baubles, reindeer ... not ONE SINGLE baby Jesus, no wise men, not even an angel. Next day I found a Holiday tree online! And in this same place earlier, we were treated to Eid mubarak and Happy Hanukkah. Everything seems OK except for the Christian version ... that one is out, it seems.

I was as already told, quite pissed after this, so ...  if you're not in for a very grumpy verse ...  just stop here.

Don't send me Season's Greetings
or Happy Holidays.
The days are running swiftly,
time passes in a haze.

The Season here is winter,
it's cold, it's dark and wet.
The Holiday's upon us,
we cook, we clean and fret.

And are we really merry
with santas, elfs, and fairies?

Can't you say: Merry Christmas,
then better silent be,
for santas, elfs and fairies
is nothing fun for me.

You see, the only reason
that I can stand this season
is Him that is the reason
to celebrate this "season".
