TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS # 33

Twas the night before Christmas
And all thru the Grange
Not a creature was stirring
Which seemed rather strange
As they were party animals
And needed little reason
But it turned out they’d gone
To Mauritius for the season

MUSIC IN SPACE

Round the world they go
In nineteen sixty five
Orbiting the earth
So high up in the sky

Dashing round the world
Above the earth they race
Jingle Bells the song, was
The first one played in space

O Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way.
Oh! What fun it is to ride
In a space ship far away hey

Sung to the tune of Jingle Bells

IN AUCKLAND NEW ZEALAND

In Auckland New Zealand
They don’t say Happy Christmas
As it’s built on a strip of land
So instead they say Merry Isthmus

BLACK CHRISTMAS

Now that the one I love is gone
The season has left me bitter
My heart has lost its soulmate
And Christmas has lost its glitter

GIFTING

My mum gave me a gift and the receipt,
Like she did every single year before
Then I could take it back if I didn’t like it,
So actually what she gets me is a chore

THE THREE WISE MEN WERE LATE TO THE NATIVITY

The three wise men were late to the nativity
However not because they had travelled very far
But because one of them was an astronomer
And endlessly wittered on about the bloody star

RADIANT LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Radiant light of the world
Oh most divine child of love
Joyous redeemer

HOLLY DEAREST

Icicles hang from the gutters
All on the landscape is still
Ice crystals pattern the glass
Snow stands deep on the sill
Curtains drawn against the dark
As a fire roars in the hearth
While my darling lays in my arms
And love burns hot in my heart

REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE 13TH OF DECEMBER

Remember, Remember the 13th of December
And put your lighted candles out
Because that is the very special day
And light is what St Lucy is all about
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS # 34
Twas the night before Christmas
And all thru the caravan
Not a creature was stirring
Which wasn’t the plan
But the camp site was flooded
So that was the reason
And would be out of action
For the festive season
