Granny's nightmare

Twas the month before Christmas
And throughout the land
We've started our shopping
With help from broadband
The toys come from Argos, the clothes from JL
Cos shopping in person
Is the Ninth circle of Hell
There's a jumper for DH, for SIL, gin
But where should they leave it
If I am not in?
I sit up with Amazon ordering books
For cyclists and sports fans
And children and cooks.
My cash card is tingling, the urge is still there
Without M&S or Ocado
I haven't a prayer.
In the shops like those jingle bells
The cash tills will ring
But here by the fire I am spared all that thing
Of jostling and crowds and nowhere to park
Then driving back home in the cold and the dark.
I love Christmas shopping, the spirit is here
And as I'm not driving, don't stint with the cheer.winewine
But where would I be - I would weep I would frown
If my nightmare should happen
My wi-if was down? ???

Ok disgruntled, I lied.. just a bit
To get the word to sound right, so they would fit
Easter didn't sound right, Black Friday too close
I have done some shopping, so yes I can boast
Half are now wrapped and hidden away
Hope family don't go looking, unwrapped they must stay
ill get round to adding the paper and bows
And looking back at, the highs and the lows
Of organising Christmas for this year
I'll sing hallelujah, a give a big cheer
That another years past, a new one must start
And my family don't think, that I'M that old fart!

I should have read that before I struggled to the shops today DaphneBroon

Excellent!

(however, I was unable to purchase something for DGD online -there seems to be a shortage and the price has shot up at least three-fold on Amazon - and I found it in a real toy shop at normal price!)

Wonderful Daphne grin. Your wi-if down comment reminded me of Margo in the Good Life saying Christmas was cancelled because Harrods couldn't deliver it.
