What is a Black Christmas?

​BLACK FRIDAY

They’re going to be
scratching their heads
even more this year.
Wondering what to get
the Old Man for Christmas.
 
Amazon will have more
clicks and cash than it
could ever have imagined.
Black Friday is becoming
Black Christmas.
 
So perhaps I’ll adopt
a different approach,
and take the pressure off those
determined to buy me something.
This year. I’ll say exactly
what I would like.
 
There are millions of people
and thousands of groups
struggling in the present situation.
There is no normal Christmas
this year.
 
So, I would love it,
if you could
make a small donation
to those doing good work
or help a local cause on my behalf.
 
However, if you really want
to do the online
Christmas shopping experience,
then why not send a surprise toy
to a young family,
a gift to an older person or
a food delivery to a local food bank.
 
We can spend our way from now
to a Black Christmas
or we can empower each other
and create a Kinder Christmas.
