Christmas, the most wonderful time of the year?

The trees are up and lit to look magical

With ornaments and tinsel to match

Families are happy, kids are laughing

But I'm here wondering where I went wrong

What did I do for you to be moody

Five days out of seven days

Mom tries her best to stay happy but

I can see through the mask that she

Is struggling to be happy, but she's

Trying her hardest despite you

I try my hardest to remain happy

But I've been through to many years

Of this repeated behavior

And just when I think

"This year will be different"

Another argument breaks out

And the cycle repeats

The trees are up and lit to look magical

With ornaments and tinsel to match

Families are happy, kids are laughing

And I'm thinking, hoping

Maybe this year will be different
