Christmas
CHRISTMAS
It’s nearly that time of the year,
When families come together to
Celebrate the good cheer,
That this 12th month offers us,
It’s so wonderful and a pleasure
Preparing for this Christmas fuss,
And no matter if it’s spent in the North,
South, East or West,
For me it has always been one of
The best,
Days of my life,
As a child, a teenager and wife!
Presents are wrapped to give
To loved ones,
And cards are sent with tons
Of love.
A turkey is a must,
And must be just,
Cooked golden brown,
With crispy skin
I normally get into a flat spin.
A ham is cooked from
The day before,
Last year I dropped it
On the floor!
Oh yes, there’s more, a Christmas
Pudding with home made
Custard that’s thick and creamy,
I always taste, isn’t that what
Chefs do on TV, it’s normally dreamy!
I always visit mum and dad,
Where they rest, and leave flowers,
Sure that makes them happy and glad!
We miss them all,
Including my father in law,
Wish they could call!
The Christmas tree and small lights
That flicker, look like a fairy
Who takes pauses whilst telling us of
The Christmas tree’s story
And of a lifetime of Christmas’s and
All it’s glory.
Each decoration that is hung
On our tree,
Has been chosen,
Very carefully,
Each has a meaning for this
Special day,
Which will hopefully be there,
For generations to come,
As has always been done!
After feasting on our late lunch,
It’s time to open the presents,
Some families prefer to open them early,
Before brunch,
Seven of us in all, including the lady
That helps us which makes eight.
Bright paper thrown around and
Exclamations of glee,
As each thanks the other happily!
Each decoration, after Christmas, is
Lovingly wrapped and put away
So that they last.
Inevitably when I sing Christmas Carols,
I shed a tear,
It’s a happy one, not sad, as we begin
Getting into gear,
For a week after Christmas, when
We wish all a blessed
and Happy New Year.
