Evil Sid Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Christmas is here again. Christmas time is here again With crackers and jokes of bad taste There's relatives nobody's seen all year And cards that are written in haste Where frivolous dress is the standard As at party we happily prance And even the ugliest person on hand Of a kiss has half of a chance And the presents we buy for our loved ones And of this it has got to be said That for one day we all wear those jumpers In what normally we would not be seen dead We sing all the songs of the season All the carols from long long ago And we ooh and we aagh at the kiddies As they play outside in the snow After dinner we sit through the queens speech And she tells us how things are for her Of the times she has had and how proud of us all But by then it is mostly a blur All in all it is such a good time And makes us forget all our woes As we sit by a warm comfy fire With our feet up toasting our toes So to all have good merry Christmas As soon you will probably hear Well that’s christmas day over Time to celebrate the new year.

wolfie Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Christmas .... the time that someone dressed in red and white, who's good at getting into houses, has loads of electrical items that can't be traced, drives an unlicenced vehicle and only works for one day a year. Remind you of anyone? Wolfie (09-43am) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry hayes Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Good poem. Enjoyed it. Loved the quote on the TV last night - "you can't buy Christmas. It buys you" Wolfie missed out "and gets the sack" Happy days - and keep all the receipts for when the shops open again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I loved Christmas as a kid but coming from a relatively poor working class family it was very different than it is these days. Most of the presents would normally fit into my pillowcase but I think that was the norm back then and often my main present was something that my dad had secretly made for me. Our tree was homemade and as I recall, its base would be always wrapped with the wrapper from last years Christmas cake! Later when I had my own family, we’d always have a real tree and use the same fairy that my daughter made from sticky paper and a toilet roll. One year while dressing the tree, my wife noticed that a chocolate coin in golden foil had been packed away by mistake the previous year. This got known as the "poisonous penny" and it became a regular feature on the Green household tree until it was eventually eaten nearly twenty years later by one of the kids unsuspecting cousins. As Harry would say.. Happy days! Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleopatra Posted December 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Imagine a big snow covered house with light coming from windows and porch, green garlands decorating the outside of the house, a few white lights on a tree, a snowman with twiggy arms, the words in big gold letters - Merry Christmas Everyone at the bottom and that's what you would have seen if posting it was possible. OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Strange will not let me attach photobucket images but will let me add files from my pc provided they do not exceed the total max file limit of 500k. so you can add pictures but you may have to delete previous ones you yhave posted to make room for them. tried photobucket but says that the image extension is not available in this community. Does not give any indication of what image extension is allowed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
