Not sure this is a humbug, but consider my assignment done, 
again, with
tongue in cheek.  It is a twitter poem, and I take responsibility 
for the
inversion to force a rhyme.

Christmas Conversation with a Skeptic

In Santa Clause—
Do you believe?
"I guess—
As long as I receive."

I'm not a shopper either :).  I'm way in for the
on-line instead of in-line.  Gettin' dangerous out
there to shop, grannies pepper spraying folks
reaching for boxes on the shelves, playing bumper
carts down thin isles, and an oasis of good cheer
when someone let's you pass through the line
realizing you aren't cutting in line :).  Bah humbug.

Before you read...  please know that I love Christmas  but I am 
so not a
shopper so this is a tongue in cheek memo from the Scrooge  side 
of
me...read
it with a smile or at least I hope you do..) And the second  one 
is about
the
love (or not) of fruitcake...As I both meant to be tongue in  
cheek...I
also have a series of three Rudolph parodies
written for both children  and us
adults who still have the child in them...if anyone would like to 
read
them
let me know and I can send to private email instead of clogging 
the
list..)

Attention:  Memo from Scrooge

To Whom it  may Concern:

I love Christmas ...  really I do!
Carols and bells,  peppermint and poinsettia,
The scent of pine and sugar cookie dough
All  mingle to create memories that
I cherish and look forward to...  BUT
I am  not a shopaholic and wear
The badge of shopping Scrooge proudly,
Like my  personal Yuletide decoration.
And if I could wire it up with a light or  two,
I would and it would illuminate the world
With  this bit of  wisdom--
"Be happy that I'd rather be ONline
Than IN line...  it brightens
Your day more than you know!"
