Christmas Dinner

A most festive time of year I surely can not wait The anticipation is so great I smell the turkey in the oven The Christmas lights shining bright Snow is falling A blanket of angelic white Christmas carols warming all our merry souls Christmas cheer a plenty Plum pudding all ready for the feast Children running here and there, too a fro Grandma kissing grandpa under the mistletoe Aunts and Uncles, neighbors and friends Nephews, nieces, cousins like elf’s dancing around the tree Mum rings the Christmas bells Dinner is finally ready Christmas hats, crackers and wine Stuffing to die for I take my seat, for this festive meal Surrounded By these memories I turn on the radio for company I lift the foil off of the TV Dinner Merry Christmas to the past Humbug
