A Christmas with Loved ones

Lord show us the way That we can best celebrate your day, Should it be fun For all of us to feel as one? Or should we be sad Knowing that we may at times have been a little bad? May we please drink, So that into depression we do not now sink, Aware of course That too much imbibed turns our chatter into morse. How about the food, Or would too much eating be quite rude? Forget that thought, As we need consume these lovely things we bought, Also these folk Will badly need the victuals for all the alcohol they soak. Sorry - now back on track, Forgive the decorum I so very clearly lack; But it is a joy To share this feast with loved ones and on that I shan't be coy, For while it is your day, There is one further thing I must now say: It wouldn't be the same If we didn't come together in your name. Thus please forgive any transgression During what will surely be a long and roudy session, For we toast but once a year In the presence of so many we hold dear. Hence let us raise our glass, Before yet another Christmas simply pass, To hail your glorious birth And such a great excuse for this unbridled mirth.
