CHRISTMAS GOOD WILL

 

I look from my window

Upon a street of cheer

And as I look upon the scene

As Christmas day draws near

I pray that this good will

Could last throughout the year

CHRISTMAS SURPRISE

 

She likes surprises

And at Christmas even more

So, I do what I can

To give her surprises galore

 

Each year it gets harder

But I do what I can

This year I will tell her

I haven’t always been a man

CHRISTMAS SUPERSTITION

 

Is Christmas day on Friday this year?

I think that it is, that’s what I hear

I’m one of those superstitious men

So, let's hope it's not the 13th then

SNOW BLIND

 

Since the snow began to fall

My wife has done nothing at all

But stare blankly through the window

As the snow lays snow on snow

If it continues in this way

We shall have a white Christmas day

But my wife stares through the glass

As the snow falls thick and fast

Sadly, if it gets any worse outside

I'll have to let her come inside

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
