Are you feeling quite morose
’Cause Christmas day is just too close
With not a lick of shopping done
And all you want to do is run?
Well here’s a cure for your lament:
Friday’s Midnight Merriment!
So wipe those tears right off your face
And put a smile back in its place
The Season’s only just begun –
Now go out there and have some fun!
(Stephanie Parkinson of Concord wrote this rhyme in honor of Midnight Merriment. The downtown festival will be held on Dec. 3 from 5:30 p.m. to midnight. For more information about Midnight Merriment, visit mainstreetconcord.com.)
