The only thing stirring was the
click of a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the
chimney with care,
In hopes that social media St.
Nick soon would be there;
The children and adults were
nestled in beds,
While visions of Facebook danced
in their heads;
Would mentions of iPad on Twitter
be met
With stockings stuffed with
tablets once hard to get?
Would discussions of smartphones
for using Linkedin,
Bring gifts of devices with keyboards,
but thin?
Would plus-oneing that post about
the spirit of Christmas
Help earn us the gifts we circled
on Google+?
Would favoriting a YouTube video about
Christmas afar
Help to deliver that coveted DVR?
No, it seems good old Santa may
be unaware
Of our postings to networks both
here and there
What his spirit seems to say
about material needs:
Christmas is not about you, but about
your real deeds
So as you sit with loved ones
perhaps by a fire
Consider again your real social media
desire
Is it followers, friends, business
leads or even money?
Or is it helping others, giving
often … even being funny?
You see giving is easy on social
networks – they’re free
You really have no excuse not to
give … times three
Next time you sit down to network
or share
Tweet, share, like – but make
sure that you care
Because the true Christmas
miracle is giving not getting
Be sure to give more than you get
in a social setting
Spreading goodwill in deed both big
and small
Will help spread the spirit of
social Christmas to all
Merry Christmas and goodwill to all!
