Up To Here With Christmas

I'm up to here with Christmas
My cheer is wearing thin
I'm close to going crazy 
And I'm wearing a fixed grin

I said this year would be different 
I said I would be organised 
We would keep things simple 
And just enjoy the Xmas ride 

But, as is usual for me 
I find I'm in a terrible bind
Now it's midnight Xmas eve 
And I'm fifty jobs behind 

I'm madly multitasking 
Cooking all the food we need 
Packing up the car and 
Gift wrapping at light speed 
 
At some point in the near future 
I'll know I'll collapse and blow a fuse 
Next year will be different..... 
I'm going on a cruise!
