I got this poem from the Writer's Almanac this morning

I thought this was cute and wanted to share. Hope everyone (unlike this poet) got what they wanted or needed this year.

December 26

A BB gun.
A model plane.
A basketball.
A ‘lectric train.
A bicycle.
A cowboy hat.
A comic book.
A baseball bat.
A deck of cards.
A science kit.
A racing car.
A catcher's mitt.
So that's my list
of everything
that Santa Claus
forgot to bring.

I didn't get many gifts (Ok, I got one from my mom-in-law. I may get more from my family but not until Dec 30th)

But my son gave me a mug that I paid for from the Santa Shop at school. And a pen from my daughter from the Santa shop.

My gift was I didn't hate Christmas this year. I usually...have issues with it, LOL.

I have plenty of Christmas baggage of my own (probably not as heavy as yours, though). I think about writing about it sometimes, but then I think it might come across as too whiny.

Enjoy your mug and pen. :D
