Happy Xmas - When's It Over

*I wrote this with John Lennon’s Happy Xmas (War Is Over) tune in mind. Happy Xmas (When’s It Over?) SO this is Xmas Where did the year go? No money left over To have and to hold And SO blinking Xmas Is here once again It’s over indulgence For women and men A Very Merry Xmas And a Happy New Year With mince pies and brandy Some Champers and Beer And SO this is Xmas The kids are on high Your granny is snoring (too many pork pies) And SO Happy Xmas Your trousers feel tight Another dry sherry I’m too weak to fight A Very Merry Xmas And a Happy New Year With trifle & custard Washed down with warm beer And SO this is Xmas Your waistline no more Another dead brain cell You try to ignore And SO Happy Xmas I hope you’ve had fun Prosecco and chocolate All shows on your tum Yes, A Very Merry Xmas And a Happy New Year I wish you a good one Without any tears :0)

Sad, but true. Unfortunately, you have pictured it for some. For the rest of us, it's about keeping Christ as the center, and family gatherings, Mother's recipe for those special Christmas cookies, and worship, culminating in a candlelight service at church. That's true for the hundreds of members of our church. But you have expressed it well. Easy flow, great rhyme
