Christmas in California

2024’s Holiday Poem

Christmas in California
Is rolling 'round again
I look forward to sharing it
With family and friends

This season's feeling haunted
A hard to argue fact
Beneath the strain of politics
And people clapping back

This shopping season's last chance buys
Spark lukewarm interest
As shoppers look toward '25's
Incoming tariff threats

With Pluto in Aquarius
Regimes are burning down
The People are now taking aim
At every tarnished crown

It's hard to lift a cup of cheer
With such uncertainty
So I'll nestle with a spicy book
And a mug of steaming tea

Inside the lights shine merrily
And Christmas carols sing
This California Christmas
Will be about one thing

The love of friends and family
As we circle 'round our trees
And this year's hard-learned lesson
To save some love for me
