DECEMBER HAS COME ROUND AGAIN

December has come round again

Another Christmas time is near.

That time when young and old

Almost explode with festive cheer.

THE MAGICAL SEASON

 

Christmas cards come from absentees

Bringing so many Christmas wishes

And those you get to see in person

Are greeted with Christmas kisses

 

It’s the time for friends and family

Exchanging gifts beneath the tree

A time to enjoy every single moment

And make it as magical as it can be

IT WARMS MY REMINISCENT HEART

 

It warms my reminiscent heart

When Christmas preparations start

When the bells of Christmas chime

I am taken back to happy times

With special friends and family

And all the Christmas memories

When Christmas preparations start

It warms my reminiscent heart

CHRISTMAS MEMORIES

 

Of all the Christmas’s I can remember

My best Christmas’s were the ones

Where I would decorate the tree with dad

And make Christmas cookies with mum

Thread popcorn and make paper chains

Each day opening the advent calendar

Wrapping the gifts in excited secrecy

Writing cards and sending them near and far

They are just distant memories now

But they were still the very best ones

And we must make Christmas memories

Now we have our daughters and our sons

THE MAN IN RED

 

Christmas Eve

It’s time for bed

Listen for the sleigh bells

Of the man in red

 

Cookies and milk

By the fireplace

Excitement beams

From each child’s face

 

Up the stairs

And fast asleep

Close those eyes

You mustn’t peep

 

Then when you wake

You will see

Sweets and toys galore

To fill you with glee

SANTA

 

Santa comes but once a year

Riding on his sleigh

From his North Pole HQ

With gifts for Christmas day

 

Santa comes down your chimney.

To fill your Christmas stockings

With nuts, fruit, and candy

And all kinds of wonderful things

 

So, remember on Christmas Eve

To be good girls and boys

Or Santa won’t come

To bring you lots of toys

CHRISTMAS WISH

 

I’m not looking forward to Christmas

Not since we lost Mum this year

I’m not looking forward to a Christmas

Devoid of any Christmas cheer

 

Dads doing his best to lift our spirits

All though inside he’s really hurting too

He wants to make it a special time

And do the things like Mum used to do

 

So, we decked the house with garlands

And trimmed the Christmas tree

We hung the Christmas cards on strings

So that everyone could see

 

Then with all the decorations up

My Dad went round us one by one

To ask us what gift we wanted

And he promised his best would be done

 

My sister Jules wants new clothes

Kenny wants music of any kind

The twins they want an X-Box

And the baby really doesn’t mind

 

Then Dad asked me “what do you want son?

What gift would stop you feeling glum”?

I said “I don’t want a present Dad

All I wish for Christmas is my Mum”
