HUMBUG

December 1^st, Annually.

 

Don’t bother with the Christmas tree

And decking out the hall

Don’t start singing jingle songs

Humbug to it all

 

Let’s scrap giving presents

It’s over-rated  trash

In this economic climate

You must be careful with your cash

 

I just want to stay at home

Unsociable and glum

Buy your own selection box

Cos I’m a  mardy bum.

 

The days are short, the nights are long

I’ve got no yuletide cheer

So, until the shortest day has passed

You’ll find no Christmas here

 

December 22^nd, Annually

 

The tree is up, the lights are on

I’ve got a  glass of wine

I’ve wrapped up all the presents

It’s going to be just fine

 

Have another chocolate

And get the family in

Have a Merry Christmas

Let festivities begin.

 

Put some Christmas music on

And watch yer grandad dance

He’ll get you under t’mistletoe

If he gets half a chance

 

My winter blues are over

I’m ready now at last.

I always feel much better

With the winter solstice passed.
