The Twelve Threads of Christmas ????

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.

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”!!!

sharon103 Tue 18-Jun-19 16:14:22

lol Maw. The Christmas cards will be out in the shops in the middle of next month!

annsixty Tue 18-Jun-19 16:02:32

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

annsixty Tue 18-Jun-19 16:00:53

Because she is now Mawbroonsback
Which I keep seeing as Mawbroomstick!!!

Charleygirl5 Tue 18-Jun-19 15:06:52

I agree, I enjoyed that lemongrove but can I now return to mid winter please n]because that is how it feels here.

lemongrove Tue 18-Jun-19 13:48:06

I thang kew! smile

DanniRae Tue 18-Jun-19 13:45:18

That's great lemongrove - I really enjoyed your poem! grin

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!

MawBroonsback Tue 18-Jun-19 10:38:32

Ah, that is because I am now MawBroonsback - did you try that?

GrannyGravy13 Tue 18-Jun-19 10:12:14

Mawbroon have tried to PM you, but I got the message “Mawbroon is unable to receive PM”

MawBroonsback Tue 18-Jun-19 10:11:05

Sounds as if you are in the throes!
Good luck to Mr Dynorod smile

GrannyGravy13 Tue 18-Jun-19 10:07:18

Oh Mawbroon. I have no defence I am so sorry ????

Well actually in my defence.........AD who is pregnant has been throwing up all night and now has a migraine, consequently guest bathroom lavatory is blocked, I had to get GC to pre-school(including pack lunches)!!

Mr. Gravy is now in bathroom with “rods” and magic fluid!!!

Our AS and wife are here until the weekend when he flies overseas for his next deployment, so juggling bathrooms.

Roll on Monday we will have our house back- and I shall be sad and lonely.

Phew shopping is looking a breeze!!!!
??????????????

By referring to me as Phoenix?

GrannyGravy13 Tue 18-Jun-19 09:41:56

Mawbroon I was trying to be funny........obviously I have had an epic fail!!!!! ????

DanniRae Tue 18-Jun-19 09:36:11

Forget Christmas I'm off out to get some Easter Eggs! wink

lemongrove Tue 18-Jun-19 09:32:08

Haha very good Maw .......yes, Maw and not Phoenix
Although she may be dropping in soon.?
Christmas threads in June should be outlawed and the perp
Strung up in their own fairy lights!?

MawBroonsback Tue 18-Jun-19 09:22:51

Are you sure GG13?
Look at your post again then! tchgrin

sodapop Tue 18-Jun-19 08:47:32

Love it Maw I love all things Christmas but in June its a step too far.

GrannyGravy13 Tue 18-Jun-19 08:46:46

I am a “keep Christmas in December” sort of person (but I must admit to loving sprouts)???

GrannyGravy13 Tue 18-Jun-19 08:45:06

Haven’t brought the “Christmas Sherry” yet ?.?⛄️?⛄️???

Although I shall not be surprised to see some early Christmas cards in Lakeside today ???

Urmstongran Tue 18-Jun-19 08:40:51

That’s what I spotted Maw!

The verse about the sprouts made me giggle!

MawBroonsback Tue 18-Jun-19 08:22:10

Urmstongran Tue 18-Jun-19 08:21:06
