Doctor Grandma

I know the Easter bunny is a Pagan thing,

and that Hallmark creates holidays,

I know that Christ was not born in December,

and we don’t need gifts to show love, on birthdays,

But I also know, I had fun with our kids

when we took eggs

and dipped them in dye,

and I walked with them dressed in their little costumes,

when we went out on Halloween night.

For years I bought gifts for your birthday as well,

had the kids pick out something for fun,

but I got tired of seeing my own birthday go by

and there was nothing then done in return,

So it’s very hard being with someone like this,

who is stuck on the history of things,

and sometimes I think you just do things for fun,

relax in the joy that it brings.
