On the first thread of Christmas
It was still mid June
Do you think this might be posting too soon?

On the second thread of Christmas
I feared I had to moan
I thought I might be on my own

On the third thread of Christmas
I felt a little cross
My DD says” Can she bring her horse?”

On the fourth thread of Christmas
I thought I’d better buy
At least a lovely ham and turkey pie

On the fifth thread of Christmas
We were a couple more
My sister and my brother in law

On the sixth thread of Christmas
I knew that I would need
A duvet and some extra sheets

On the seventh thread of Christmas
I went up to the loft
but the Christmas tree was eaten by moths

On the eighth thread of Christmas
Before getting ready to go out
I thought I’d better put on the sprouts

On the ninth thread of Christmas
The grocery order came
But it wasn’t the one I’d booked in my name

On the tenth thread of Christmas
I went to peel the spuds
But the whole lot turned out to be duds

On the eleventh thread of Christmas
My guests started to arrive
Were we really going to be TWENTY FIVE?

On the twelfth thread of Christmas
I went to get the booze
Packed it in a suitcase
And went off on a two week CRUISE.

Christmas comes but once a year,
Except on GN, ain’t that queer?
It may be hot, it may be June,
It may well be, much too soon
For chats that feature snow and ice
Crackers, tinsel, all things nice
November is a better time,
Done in Summer, it’s a crime!

OK I didn't turn the page over, too busy peeling the sprouts and putting those all important little crosses on the bottom.

Mawbroonsback A little update.....Lavatory in working order, AD has stopped throwing up (is laying on sofa) GC back from pre-school (filthy so had a good day).

I did not buy any C Gifts (thankfully) though there were some C Cards in “Paperchase”!!!
