Christmas

December is here the year's almost done
it's now the season for laughter and fun
the days are short and nights are cold
the story of Christmas, again will be told

A wonderful time for girls and boys
Santa is busy making their toys
preparing his sleigh and trusty reindeer
listen for sleigh bells, then you know he's near

Christmas eve and the kids are asleep
eyes shut tight and dare not peep
the snow is falling it's a magical sight
the perfect scene, on this festive night

Christmas morning is here at last
the children are out of their beds so fast
he's been, he's been in excitement they cry
he's drunk the sherry and had the mince pie

Presents laid out for all to see
carefully wrapped and placed under the tree
paper is ripped to the screams of yes!
no more feeling and trying to guess

the radio's on and carols are played
the turkey is cooking, and the table is laid
the fire is warm with an amber glow
while outside it continues to snow

The relatives arrive later that day
with presents in hand, “Merry Christmas” they say
uncle Albert and auntie Flo
she'll want a kiss under the mistletoe

Hugs and kisses and how are you?
uncle Albert's jumper must be new
exchanging presents wrapped so neat
if you don't like them, we’ve got the receipt

Dinner is served and what a spread
on table of gold and runner of red
crackers are pulled and hats are worn
celebrating the day that Christ was born

After the turkey it’s the second course
Christmas pudding with brandy sauce
there's a tv programme that must be seen
it's three o'clock, and time for the Queen

The relatives go home it's the end of the day
time to relax and put the presents away
hoping the year will quickly pass
and bring us again back to Christmas.
