Read or sing to the tune of “The Twelve Days of Christmas”

On the Friday after Thanksgiving determined to Un-Grinch

I hung a festive swag on the door.

On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, still planning to Un-Grinch

I added a little something more.

On the Sunday after Thanksgiving, Un-grinching underway

I decorated pretty much all day.

On the Monday after Thanksgiving, I had to go to work

The Grinch reared his ugly head, that jerk!

Determined to defeat him, I headed to a store

Shopping in the Christmas aisle for more.

Home and wrapping presents, singing Christmas songs

The Grinch rang the doorbell ” ding ding dong” .

There on the doorstep he’d left a little note

admitting  that I’d  found the antidote.

He said that Christmas spirit defeats him every time.

I smiled  from ear to ear and wrote this rhyme.
