“Tis the night before Christmas
And the moon is sitting high
The kids are in bed,
Kissed and snuggled in tight

The gifts are all wrapped
There is love in the air
It only comes once
So it is handled with care

The curtains are drawn
The cookies are bit
It’s time to blow out
All those candles we’ve lit

The kids will soon wake
With laughter in their hearts
We have a big day ahead
And early it would start

Laughter’s and squeals
Jumps on the bed
Screaming, “Get up”!
“Get up!” as they fled

Wrappings and ribbons
Thrown everywhere
“Oh, I love you Mom and Dad!”
Neither did spare

Family arrives - Carolers sing
Stories are told
Of childhood memories
This is true love; true love is in the air
And it only comes once
So it is handled with care

Now the gifts have been opened
And the food is all gone
The songs are all sung
And the guests have gone home

It is time to get back
To all the normal things
It is time to put away
All that the holidays bring

You'll go to your office
She'll go to her room
He'll reach for his game
I guess I'll grab the broom

Christmas had come
And Christmas had went
It only comes once a year
But it is always time well spent”
― N'Zuri Za Austin

“Happy Holidays (The Sonnet)

Spirit of Christmas doesn't grow on a fir tree,
Christmas blooms wherever the heart is hatefree.
Ramadan isn't fulfilled by feasting on some tasty beef,
The greatest of feast is haram if others go hungry.
Hanukkah's miracle isn't about the oil lasting 8 days,
Rather it's about the resilience of light amidst darkness.
Fireworks may be diwali for those still in kindergarten,
Everyday is diwali for an existence rooted in kindness.
The will to love and the will to lift are the backbone,
Of all human celebration, tradition and communion.
Take that fundamental will out of the equation,
All you have left are rituals without meaning and mission.
Fasting, feasting and decorating are step two of any festival.
First and foremost, at our altar within, we gotta light a candle.”

“I'm force-feeding the holiday spirit. And I'm ready to play the game. To act, to pretend, to fuck under the mistletoe.”
― Daniel Ruczko, Pieces of a Broken Mind
