The wrapping paper is in the bin
Santa Claus and his elves have been
You may not have got all that you wished for
We always seem to be wanting more
The fridge is full of turkey leftovers
Dads sporting new socks and pullovers
Mums are happy but exhausted
Were they appropriately supported?
The lounge is strewn with toys and gifts
With washing up being done in shifts
It comes around just once a year
Soon the decorations will disappear
I hope it was a day of joy
For every girl and boy
But time is the most precious gift of all
Making memories we will one day recall
So don’t fret if yours was a simple day
You must do Christmas your own way
It’s not about the food and presents
It’s all about your unique presence
