Ode to a blog vacation

Dec 18th, 2005 by Accidental Thinker

All the shopping is done
But I’m still on the run
Because the presents have not yet been wrapped, not a one.

The holiday yuletide is upon us, at last
And I’m looking forward to that scrumptious repast
But there’s still so much to do, that I’m simply aghast.

And while loved ones would doubtless proclaim and opine
That my many blog musings are mostly sublime
There have been rumblings afoot that it takes too much time.

My family, they need me, this fine Christmas season
For quality time they deserve, with good reason
Else I might be accused of committing high treason.

So this is all my fun little way
Of announcing with spirits most joyful and gay
That my blogging vacation begins right now, today.

Yet please never fear
My loyal readers most dear
I’ll be back with new writing come the first of the year.

I quake at the thought, pull over the sleigh,

Monique and her blog canâ€™t come out to play. 🙁

Enjoy the time with your family. We’ll be here when you get back. My blog vacation has left me feeling rejuvenated, although I’m sure “this too, shall pass.”
Thanks for the kick in the rear to get me going again.

Merry Christmas to you and yours. 🙂

Just remember…ALL parental requests for decorating assistance (*ahem* rug *ahem*) are to be politely declined over the holidays. Unless you have 911 on speed dial. 🙂

Cute. 😉

Everyone needs a vacation, even from blogging. Have a good one and see you on the other side. 🙂

Thanks everyone. I’m no poet, but I wanted to do something other than the typical “I’m too busy to blog” post. Have much going on over the next couple of weeks and the self-imposed blogging “vacation” will free up some time and reduce the stress a bit. But I’ll be back, there is no question about that!
