I love preparing for Christmas. It means a lot to me.

1. Christmas

2. Need places for the relliesChairs and beds and seatsIt’s going to be Christmas soonThe decorations grace our streets

3. Cooking, shopping, making roomIt all seems quite a flurryNeed to learn to pace myselfEnjoy the constant hurry

4. Make the puddingsGet the cakeTrim the Christmas tree

5. It always fills my heart with joyIt’s not just a shopping spree

6. Time to turn my thoughts to thoseWho struggle everydayDo my little bit for themAnd hope things go their way

7. Time to ponder what I haveWhat I have achievedThank those who are around meFor the help I have received

8. Christmas is about the bondsWhich sustain me every yearTime out from the daily grindTo repair the wear and tear

9. I put my home in orderIn a hive of preparationChristmas comes but once a yearIt’s a time of celebration
