Le Voyage Magnifique

Holiday Shopping

Holiday shopping can lift our spirits
with Santa Claus waiting to charm
flocks of young boys and girls
by gushing a jolly "Ho, ho, ho!"
Bright, colorful lights on display
and joyous Christmas music
add a bit of flair.

Holiday shopping can sap our spirits
with crushing crowds rushing around,
trying to find amazing gifts
at discount cost and grab last in sight.
Such frantic conduct will drain
bank account and flood loan liability.

Good luck in finding your way through
that labyrinth of conflicting conditions!
