THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS TIME
The magic of Christmas time
Is all the good will it brings
But sadly it gets packed away
With the other Christmas things
THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS
The magic of Christmas
Is the Christmas cheer
What a shame it can’t last
Throughout the year
CHRISTMAS PUDDING
Christmas pudding
Boiling in the pot
Rich steamed pudding
Hissing in the pot
Christmas pudding
Singing in the pot
Turn the pudding out
Its steaming hot
CHRISTMAS STAR
The Christmas star
Festively untypical
Having poisonous milk
And being tropical
But scarlet petal-like leaves
Make them appear more topical
And star shaped flowers
Are more decoratively typical
THE THING THAT I ENJOY THE MOST
The thing that I enjoy the most
When Christmas descends
Isn’t giving and receiving gifts
It’s seeing my family and friends
Because when it comes down to it
That’s what counts in the end
SPARE A THOUGHT
We live in a selfish world
We all think of “me and mine”
It’s perfectly natural, after all
Putting family first is fine
But just take a moment
As you sit down to dine
To think of the hungry
And when the meal is done
Think of the homeless
And as you enjoy the family fun
With people who truly care
Think of those who have no one
IN TRUE DICKENSIAN TRADITION
In true Dickensian tradition
Amidst the Christmas mayhem
Even in the thronging malls
There are unforced smiles
And pleasantries exchanged
Between people with
Christmas in their hearts
Warm and heartfelt wishes
Given gladly without hesitation
One stranger to another
THE DOORBELL RINGS
The doorbell rings to announce
Arrivals from across the miles
And the spirit of the season
Is visible in the Christmas smiles
REMEMBER DECEMBER
The chilly month of December
Is the time for us to remember
In the run up to Christmas
Those who went before us
Loved ones and dear friends
Whose influence still wends
Shaping the form and style
Their memories making us smile
We remember the traditions
As they shared our celebrations
PUT A COIN IN THE BUCKET
Put a coin in the bucket
It doesn’t have to be big
Just a small token
That you won’t even miss
Put a coin in the bucket
Just drop it in
Or maybe a few
It’s good for your heart
Put a coin in the bucket
And shine a light
Into the darkest corner
Of a strangers life
Put a coin in the bucket
It’s nothing to you
But a bucket full of nothings
Will do a lot of good
WE COULD HAVE
We could have raised a glass
With all the usual crowd
We could have gone to mums
And spent Christmas in Stroud
We could have jetted off
For sand and sea and sun
We could’ve gone to my bro’s
Were they have “lots of fun”
We could have stayed at home
And just had “a quiet one”
Laughing at the annual
Morecambe and Wise rerun
But we decided to avoid this year
The usual helter skelter
And help cook Christmas dinner
At the homeless shelter
MAY THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON
May this Christmas season
Be overflowing with Christmas spirit
Enough to banish all the Grinch’s
And the Ebenezer Scrooges
And make it a very merry Christmas
CHRISTMAS ROSE
Christmas rose
The Evergreen beauty
Winter-blooming flowers
Of white or purplish hue
In wide display
Decorate the European
Landscape at Christmas
