Getting Ready

Getting Ready

By Larry Linville

When you’ve put away goblins and ghosts

and have had that last turkey on toast

your holiday times should not end

a bigger one’s around the bend.

It’s important to start it off right

doing things to prepare for that night.

I’m not talking of Christmas trees

it’s about getting on your knees.

I know there are gifts you must buy

and so much baking you want to cry

just use time to take a long look

at the story found in the Book.

Don’t get busy and miss the reason

we celebrate this joyous season.

Put things in the proper perspective

to achieve your Christmas objective.
