Why am I waking up now?
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMCM)
"A Christmas Carol's" been plaguing for intents
The season since the nineteenth cent'ry'd hail
That crucifixion of the kindest' tale,
With strains a waltzing in the other thence,
"The Nutcracker" a mystry whose pretense
Of joy falls flat likeas the first's detail,
If one look closely. Tout the lie as bail
And sing the carols door to door for sense.
We learned the darker aspect of as twere
This highest hol'day of the year which'd woo,
Oer thirty years 'go. With naught left but's poor,
Why do I wish all well with season's cue?
Am I confused? Why deck the halls, bestir
Lit tree, and eggnog? LORD, save me, won't You?

I've only seen one rendition of Dicken's Christmas Carol which told Ebenezer's back story, declaring he was the kindest boy any knew; 99% paint him otherwise.
