Christmas 2022
Christmas 2022 is fast approaching
Where has the year really gone
Well after two years of covid isolation
Boris resigned his prime minster position
He got us through brexit
And a pandemic
This wasn't enough
For government and public
The successor was Lizz Truss
Who lasted a month through lack of trust
We had the platinum jubilee
Followed by the passing of our great Queen
King charles iii took the thrown
The economical climate totally unknown
Blamed on a Russian with ideas of grandja
President Putin upset the worlds veranda
Price rises in fuel and food
This for the public cannot be good
The time of year is not the best
Families struggling with pressures on the chest
Electricity and gas prises through the roof
Puttins greed being shown As the proof
The public are struggling from day to day
All stick together and help is all can say
Christmas isn't doom and gloom
It's about sharing caring bring laughter to the room
You don't need to spend lots on family presents
Just being there is enough showing your presence
People think it's about spend spend spend
In this climate it must end
Love thy neighbour like oneself
You don't need that naughty elf
In years gone by a tangerine would do
Followed by remade stuff with nails and glue
Back then technolgy was that of unknown
Love and rejoicing should be shown
It's a time of giving and keep belief
We will beat this crisis if we keep faith
Christmas time is a great time of year
Full of charitable things and good cheer
Do something simple a support someone else
Their need may be greater so loosen your belts
Gift a little present and spread the cheer
2023 will surely be a better year
Remember all those away from families
Through work, finance and struggle or overseas
Invite them in for rmince pies and a tea
See smiles on the face for your generosity
It's Christmas day in just one week
No more presents for you to seek
All wrapped up and under the tree
Merry Christmas from the Alexander Church family
