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)

Cona Adams Date: 1/12/2015 8:49:00 AM 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 Login to Reply
