What are we doing on these December nights?
We’re checking our lists.
The presents are wrapped, with ribbons tied tight
Is anyone missed?
The parcels are hidden out of your sight,
So don’t strain your eyes,
If you look for them, in day or starlight
You’ll spoil the surprise!
The tree holds the tinsel and baubles bright,
Each cane has a bow,
The angel’s on top of the highest height
With bright lights below.
Fruit for the cake and pudding is soaking
In brandy and rum
Cards are written and ready for posting
To you, this one’s come
The love we share at Christmas each year,
Given so long ago,
Is strengthened as the Day draws near,
Share it, with all who you know.
Stay happy well and dry if you can, but raise a glass to all who visit here,
I post your Christmas card here because the Postie can't read my invisible virtual writing!
Joy to you all,
Eliza and all they other names she goes by!!
