Let’s retreat from this madness
the belief that everything’s fun
the falseness of enjoying
of what Christmas has become
✨
For some it is sadness
for some it is pain
for some it is expectations
that they never gain
✨
For me it’s now over
the start of a new year
away from the madness
and false Christmas cheer
🌟
Some live in the fantasy
its easier that way
Christmas is not fun for everyone
and its okay to say.

We have been very lucky, we have had a lovely peaceful Christmas. I wrote this for all the people who have maybe found it difficult seeing people that they would have preferred not to! I remember those days and the falseness and stress which goes with it. In an ideal world Christmas would be like it is portrayed in movies. 😉 in reality it rarely is. 🙄
Come Boxing Day to me it’s all over. I take down most of the decorations and I like to retreat back to normality (it must be the Aquarian in me) 😉 bah humbug! 😉

luckily you wrote this text under your poem because reading your poem I thought that something has happened 😱
and you’re right, sometimes Christmas is quite forced

We, too, had a lovely, peaceful Christmas, Elaine. Since our decorations didn’t go up till Christmas Eve, they’ll be around a little longer. 😉

This is so true. All the preconceived notions about holiday cheer is not totally true, not for everyone. For some it is a stressful burden , for others outright pain. But I don’t think the madness is going away anytime soon.
