It starts today

Black Friday
Up at 4AM
Getting the deals
Loading the trunk with gifts to give
Freezing waiting outside in the bitter cold
Waiting for the stores to open
Coupons, discounts, early bird specials
Man do I love this time of year
Cookies, cookies and more cookies
Decorations, trees and lights
Santa at the malls and Christmas songs
Poinsettias and Live Nativity Scenes
Salvation Army collecting money in front of the stores
Please I just ask
Just don’t make me watch that Christmas Story

Thankful

Just a little something I wrote -- thought it was appropriate since thanksgiving is right around the corner... hope you all like it :)

Thanksgiving a time of reflection
It’s more than turkey and stuffing
Apple pies and candied yams

The things we are thankful for
Family, friends, health
Wearing elastic waistband pants to dinner

The list is limitless
Seeing no boundaries of thankfulness
Tell me what are you thankful for
