Christmas all year round
By Fiona Cummings
Bring on the food its Christmas time
Let’s hear your best rime
Parcels under the tree
Will be given to you from me
Bought with love
Guided from above
Undo the bow
Carried home with pride in the snow
What will you find?
Lift the lid of the box
And see what’s inside
Those Christmas socks
Dad says not again
For brother in law a pen
Big sister perfume
Gramps a penny whistle for a tune
Grandma gets her slippers
Aunt Maud has the jitters
As she pours yet another sherry
Oh she is rather merry
Let the dancing commence
And let’s allow the memories
To go down in history
As the youth solve the mystery
Of the traditional board games
Let’s sit near the open flames
And talk about the best gift of all
And that is what we have together
Not the size of gifts
Big or small
But what is in our heart and soul
As the amber burns the coal
Peace in our lives
And love all around
That is what makes it Christmas every day
All year around
