We're exchanging home-made gifts in my large family.
This year we'll be putting thought beneath the Christmas tree.
I got pretty snobby about gifts that people buy;
Said we planned to give the home-made present thing a try.
Harping on commercialism, seems that I forgot
Christmas is much easier if everything's been bought.
Merry Christmas darlin's; I've been working like a slave
And I'm missing days of old, when presents that we gave
Came from Toys r' Us or Amazon or, maybe Sears...
I'm feeling the kind of pressure I've not felt for years.
Everyone but me has great ideas on what to do:
Painting, knitting, decorating - glitter and hot glue.
Only thing I've thought of is an awful lot of work.
Wish that we'd agreed on cash. Bah humbug! I'm a jerk.
