CHRISTMAS ALL YEAR ROUND BY FIONA CUMMINGS


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
