The Traditional Obligatory Annual Festive Poem Poem by Matthew Holloway

A time has come once again
To see out the year in celebration
A festive period of merry cheer
Where family and friends gather together
To recount stories, memories old and new
To raise a toast and share bad jokes
To dance and sing in varied ability
Done those hats and eat at the buffet
Decorate the trees and walls
With lights, bells and baubles
The candy canes and gingerbread
Don’t forget the chocolate advent
Then the cards with well wishes
Happy Christmas to one and all
Good luck for the year ahead
Come Christmas Eve, early to bed
So much to do, so much to eat
Then to sit back with a drink and relax
Now to wrap up this Christmas poem
With a smile and heartfelt message
Happy Christmas everyone
Enjoy your year ahead
