Christmas time is here again.
Convention says "be jolly"
but really you just put on weight
and spend a lot of lolly.

The kids wake up excited.
They've got their Christmas fix.
You think it's nice despite the fact
it's only ten past six.

There are stockings full of presents.
They're filled right to the brim,
but the parents get no thanks
because, of course, they came from "him".

You watch them rip the paper.
Their eyes are open wide.
Then straight back to the stocking as
there's plenty more inside.

"It's what I've always wanted"
is always good to hear
even though it's said ten times
every
single
year.

You wander to the sitting room.
It is very clear to see
that above the mound of presents
is the summit of a tree.

The Christmas songs are playing.
You smile, but in the main,
you hear the same songs every year
and it drives you quite insane.

There's someone in the kitchen.
The short straw they have got.
They have twenty different vegetables
in twenty different pots.

The turkey's done, it weighs a ton.
It really is a crime
as you never ever purchase one
except at Christmas time.

So, lots of food, a glass of wine,
a slice of Christmas pud
and a block of cheese which leaves you
feeling really not so good

So get your coat and have a walk
to burn a little off
but then on your return
a cheeky mince pie you will scoff.

The end of day approaches.
Out comes the part-baked bread
and for a change your plate contains
cold meat and cheese instead.

Television, lots of toys,
the room is full of sounds.
It's then you see the Mini-Heroes
start to make their rounds.

The kids are tired, they go to bed.
Asleep in less than two.
They've really had a blast and yet
they haven't got a clue.

You look around. The room's a mess.
You slump down in a heap.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world" you think,
and then you fall asleep.
