Christmas?

What has happened to this day

It used to be so magical

Christmas, it's called

And yesterday was Christmas Eve

I used to laugh and play

Always dreaming of today

When Santa Claus Came

And all my family came home

We would go out to dinner

And then go to sleep before Santa passed our house

I would wake up so early just to stare at the presents

Now I dream of today

Imagining all those times in the past

When I would open the presents, and my family

I would feel magical

Like nothing in world could ever bring me down

But when the time comes

And we go out to dinner

And dress all fancy

Trying to feel magical

It ends up being

Not so amazing

Our conversation turning to the more depressing subjects in life

Then on Christmas morning

When I wake up late

And go to the Christmas tree

And wait to open presents

But once that's done what is left

Except to sit and play

So to this day i sit and wonder

What has happened to this wonderful holiday

Has all the tradition turned to dust

And is it only about the presents, the food, and what we want

Has the spirit of giving disapeered

To be replaced by a spirit filled with greed?
