Christmas

i love Christmas
the smell of Cinnamon Apple Cider,
glazed ham in the oven..
a fire in the fireplace..
crows high up on the naked branches
frost on the whiskers of a horses nose
waiting for a baby to be born..
a baby that's gonna rock this old world..
turn it upside down
grow up,
cause a bunch of trouble..
offer hope and salvation..
walk around barefoot for 3 years with 12 losers..
forgiving whores, tax collectors, and lawyers..
attacking religious dudes using God to make money..
i love Christmas
time to forgive those dudes using God to make money
time to look in the mirror and work on that log..
time to visit extended family for a couple of hours..
time for Eggnog and singing..
Robert Earl Keen's Christmas Song comes to mind..
