As we party into the night
Celebrate the time and season
Everything will be just right
When we get ‘that gift’ for a reason
Anticipation reins supreme
The annual lesson repeats
When we awake will it be a dream?
Or will Expectations be delivered right to our feet?…

Let’s hunker around the t.v.
Grab a drink, maybe some beer or wine
Christmas equals everyone and me
Celebrating the season is divine…

Lie back look to the stars in hope
To the 3 kings we watch and wait
Gifts aplenty journey towards the gate ajar,
It’s the opportunity to open our hearts
The Bethlehem of now says ‘welcome’
Room is offered to everyone in need
At this Christmas time maybe no one will go without a feed…

Time to get your things
Time to pray and give thanks
Time now for the choir to sing
Time to make those xmas plans
Time to figure out if you believe
Time to remain above the fray
Time to give and hopefully receive
Time to celebrate The Christmas Day?

Size isn’t everything you’re told
Its the intent of the gift that matters,
When you get an age,
Where stuffed toys dance on stage
You scream so loud that glass shatters..

Relax, exhale, breathe
Shiver, twitch, distract
Wait, work, reveal
Food, stomach, attract…

On the 12th day
Behind that closed door
We’ll open it and say
It’s Christmas once more
What will it be?
A Cadbury surprise?
Yes smooth and yummy
As we eat it with our eyes!

Once a happy snowman
All smothered in chocolate so yummy
Did shout out the Christmas slogan
“I’m putting iced turkey in my round tummy “…

Inside or out set the tone
Let everyone know it’s time
The decorations are up around our homes
As we ready the turkey and mulled wine…

The journey started in 68
Like the hypnotic humming of a bird
Even back then I was always late
To be early would be absurd
We start our unknown journey
With no destination sight
With hopes to become attorney?
And the power it gives to take flight?
My train keeps on going
There is still fuel in the tank
A year older means more puffing and blowing
Mouth wide open, expression almost blank
I continue to perform the ‘Swan’
Cool and calm is the top line view
Inside pistons fire like a mad man
You never want to reveal the real you
Another year is added to my number
Its birthday time on the horizon again
Yester year I had time to slumber
But now, it’s a huge thank you to all my friends
The hope is to keep life simple
Drive your journey your way
Stay as cute as a dimple
Retain your essence – afterall its your brithday! (it’s mine actually)
