Makin' a List

Twas the week before Christmas
And all through the land,
People were searching
For gifts that were grand.
Santa was frantic,
The elves all in shock,
Could the THRIVE! Guys come through
With a gift list that rocked?
They answered the call
From the red-suited gnome.
Who better to hype
Gifts with goals for your home?
They googled, they browsed
They bookmarked with delight.
They asked for some help
From their readers so bright
At last a compilation,
A list near complete,
Was prepped and prepared
For both athlete and aesthete
So take comfort and cheer,
Be you naughty or nice,
Goals Gone Wild to all
And to all a great life!
