As much as I adore good ole crimbo It does leave me, a bit in limbo
I walk around in a vacant daze As everywhere is xmas craze
It's getting all the presents bought Wrapping them, leaves me fraught
Then there's the writing of cards To peeps you rarely see like aunt Marj
I get overwhelmed with it all Into a pre xmas frenzy, I do fall
To me christmas is about togetherness Not all the silly nonsense and fuss
I love all the food, merriment and joy A materialistic one, really does annoy
I love the songs and the xmas tree Watching old films on the TV
I don't like the pressure on us to buy It leaves me asking, WHY WHY WHY?
I buy gifts because I would like to Not because it's the expected thing to do
I get so caught up and then so stressed Forget that for xmas, I truly am blessed
We get caught up in the xmas fuss Christmas is gone, it's now Christmust
There is pressure to buy this and that Rail roaded into the commercial crap
But this year I'm going to make a stand No sending of cards, of that I'm banned
I'll always loathe wrapping but most of it's done Now it's time to enjoy some festive fun
Being with those I care about and love Sharing, singing, laughing with hugs
Creating memories of our xmas time That will be cherished and always mine
