Let's Not Have A
BLUE CHRISTMAS!
True, the house is quieter this holiday.
Time to turn up that playlist-
perhaps all the way.
Yes, the garland may not make it up this year.
Did the falling tree needles really bring
that much cheer?
The travel bans, mandates to shelter at home,
keep us from loved ones but we're not alone!
It's fine! We're fine! Pour some cheer in that cup!
Let's drink to a party we don't have to clean up.
Leave the "Blue Christmas" for Elvis -
let's turn the tables instead.
A toast to painting this Christmas
our OWN SHADE OF RED!
