No faff or fuss for us this Christmas


Family foibles and festive baubles to share

Frivolity frolics jollity & alcoholic histrionics

Swilled fables & tables filled with similar fare
 

Suggestive seasonal strolls for restive souls

Cast bitten still smitten bestilled by chilled air

Bedevilled dishevelled by some distilled wares


Pagan past perch in their old peculiar church

Dare to revel with another level devil may care

No graces or airs just familiar faces and lairs


Don't be reckless or feckless this Michaelmas 

Feuds rude moods eschewed along with despair 

Plied with yuletide pride bliss of this solstice kiss

At last no faff or fuss for us secular Christmas fayre
