ARE YOU WEARING A CHRISTMAS WAISTCOAT?

 

Are you wearing a Christmas Waistcoat?

Oh yes it’s a real crowd pleaser

But waistcoats are all rather Dickensian

It makes you look like Ebenezer

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 182

Father Christmas, Father Christmas,
Got an itch, Got an itch;
Coming down the chimney,
Coming down the chimney;
On his snitch, On his snitch.

CHRISTMAS DREAM # 3

 

I dream of Christmas

And Santa's loaded sleigh

I dream about the reindeer

Bringing Santa Claus my way

A CAROL FOR THE 21ST CENTURY - AWAY IN A MANGER

 

Away in a manger

No crib for a bed …

The little Lord Jesus

Lay down his sweet head

I don’t think it matters

How gently you sing

Social services don’t care

For this kind of thing

THE GLAD THE MAD AND THE BAD

 

Well it’s that time of year again

The time when we feign gladness

When we all get caught up

In the annual collective madness

The time of year when we pretend

The world is not full of badness

MORE NUTS THAN CAN BE CRACKED

 

We buy more drink than can be drunk

We buy more food than can be eaten

We give more gifts than can be appreciated

But for fun Christmas can’t be beaten

KEEPING UP WITH THE JONES’S

 

It can only be Christmas

When the sane start acting funny

Going nuts for Christmas’s sake

And spending too much money

 

Even the levelheaded slip

And fall at the Christmas season

Swept along with the throng

Losing all sense of reason

 

Why does it always happen?

Why does madness always descend?

It seems that the less people have

The more they want to spend

 

So desperate not to miss out

And to have their share of festive cheer

They have a very happy Christmas

And pay the price all the coming year
