Happy Merry Holiday Christmas Whatever


Don't be holiday

politically offended

if I wish you

a Merry Christmas!! 

Tis quite the lovely
merry tradition

And don't backlash
my well intentioned
all inclusive

Happy Holidays !!

I simply
don't want anyone
to feel left out

For this is meant to be
a joyous time
for all humanity

regardless of your
religious flavor

In fact
it matters not
if you 
believe at all

This is meant to be
the one time of year
where we are allowed

to spread and share good cheer

without having
our motives questioned
in the way cynics so often do

Maybe our modern
holiday greetings controversy
can teach us a lesson

A tolerance gift we can all share

that doesn't come in a box

and can't be bought online

Let's take a holiday chance on 
patience and forbearance
and carry in our hearts
a year round love for each other

that is more
than a fragile phrase
we foolishly debate
like grinches
this time of year
