Shopping’s done, stocking’s full
Lights are up and the tree looks cool
Gifts all wrapped waiting to be ripped
Food not quite done yet but there’s wine…I’ll take a sip
Coffee will brew after the wine and martini’s been consumed
Egg nog, maybe but hot chocolate milk for sure
For sure no to Turkey, but ham and steak maybe
But at my house there will be more, table full of plenty
I know Xmas songs will be playing I’ll be sad if they end
‘What a wonderful Life’ showing on TV all over and over again
Fireplace might work, got a good scare this time last year
I’ll try yet again, who knows I might make it safer…oh dear
The siblings will fly from 3,000 miles away
First time in a long time I am glad they will stay
I’ll share what I have, give what I can
No stopping they’re all here now, I’ll behave as much as I can
My kids Xmas stockings labeled “I am nice this year”
Who are they really foolingJ I was with them all year
My boy Gabe still believes in Santa and so I thought, and it’s cute
But my 18 year old Carlo, it will be scary if till now believes Rudolph’s true.
Gain some lose some the life’s story this year
Met an old friend haven’t seen in 20 years
I enjoyed the company of friends new and old
Good they share the same sentiment, at least that’s what I’ve been told
Gwapo’s far away now, seldom I see him
But added two bunnies, named Thumper and Damien
The house will be full of life with all the people that will stay
I wish it’s true with all of you, make it fun this Xmas day
But let’s not forget why we celebrate this day
There’s a manger in front of the altar, a baby will lay
The baby is born – Bringing us peace, hope, and LOVE.
I wish you and your family all of God’s blessing for all years to come.
