Sixty days of preparation
Spending money no hesitation
Wrist hurting from writing cards
Happy Christmas yours regards
Trimming the tree with decorations
Collected from numerous nations
Ears hurting from Christmas songs
Presents bought to right the wrongs
Supermarket slogs to buy the turkey
Some little additions some quite quirky
Presents wrapped all glistening and shiny
Mine to the wife is a little tiny
A few glasses on Christmas Eve
At last a time to relax and breathe
No young kids so we’re aloud to snooze
Just as well, as we drank too much booze
Turkey stuffed and in the oven
Table set for about a dozen
Queen’s speech comes and goes
Glued to the set some festive shows
Dinner downed with a glass of bubbly
Feeling stuffed, bloated and chubby
A few silly games to pass the time
Gin and T and a glass of wine
Comfy chair another snooze
Turkey sandwiches even more booze
Time for bed drunk too much ale
Need to get up for the Boxing Day sale
As if I needed more bloody shopping
Coffee and cake to stop me dropping
Twenty bags for life
Some clothes for my wife
50 percent off what a bargain
Even something for the garden
Sixty days of preparation
A great deal of expectation
Finally over till next year
Ok then just one more beer!
