The hustle, the bustle
Of running around
Into each store
Driving all over town.
A scarf and a hat
A new flannel shirt
Trying to find
A navy blue skirt.
Socks for my brother
Got Dad a new tie
Let’s stop for a burger
A coke and some fries.
It’s cold in Nebraska
Wearing mittens and coats
Shopping for presents
Something I like the most.
Toys for my nephew
So many to choose
He wants a freight train
With a bright red caboose.
A necklace for mother
It should clearly say, MOM
I know she will love it
And, know who it’s from.
A stop for hot chocolate
With lots of whipped cream
I can’t help but wonder
Is this all a dream?
So happy, elated
Love holiday time
Shopping and waiting
Yes, I’m next in line.
A little too big
To sit on his lap
But, Santa Claus says
“No worries about that”.
Promises made
Secrets are shared
He knows that I love him
He knows that I care.
Time to head home
So much to do
Wrap all the presents
Even got one for you.

Thankfully, I did all my shopping from home this year … sat in my chair and ordered what I needed without having to manage crowds or be tempted by things seen along the way! Hope you had a Merry Christmas, dear friend, and I wish you a happy 2026!!!
