IT'S CHRISTMAS 
ALREADY ??? 
 

IT'S CHRISTMAS ALREADY ???? 
NOW WHERE IS THAT LIST ???? 
I PUT IT HERE SOMEPLACE 
CAN YOU BELIEVE ...THIS ???? 

 I HAD GOOD INTENTIONS 
OF GETTING THINGS DONE 
SO I COULD SPEND THIS WEEK 
JUST HAVING SOME FUN 

WHILE THOSE PUT-OFF SHOPPING TRIPS, 
DANCE THROUGH MY HEAD. 
THE CHRISTMAS TREE'S , 
 STILL SETTING OUT IN THE SHED. 

THE LIGHTS FOR THE OUTSIDE, 
THAT OUGHT TO BE BLINKING. 
ARE STILL IN THE BOXES, 
NOW ....WHAT WAS I THINKING  ???? 

THE COOKIES AND FUDGE, 
THAT I STILL HAVE TO MAKE. 
ARE GONNA GET DONE..... 
 JUST.. A LITTLE... BIT..... LATE....... 

THERE'S PRESENTS HERE SOMEPLACE, 
AND THEY STILL NEED WRAPPING. 
NOW SOMEONE IS SNEEZING....... 
I HOPE IT'S NOT CATCHING. 

I'M JUST NOT AS ORGANIZED, 
AS I ONCE WAS... 
I'LL NEVER BE READY, 
 FOR OLD SANTA CLAUS !!!! 

WHEN HE GETS TO OUR HOUSE, 
THERE HE WILL SEE...... 
 ME !!!  DECORATING.... 
 OUR FAKE CHRISTMAS TREE 

 HE'LL LOOK AT ME SADLY, 
AND STAND THERE AND GRIN. 
THEN HE'LL STRAIGHTEN UP, 
ALL THIS MESS THAT I'M IN. 

AS HE SHOOTS UP THE CHIMNEY, 
AND FLIES OUT OF SIGHT. 
I'LL PROMISE HIM... NEXT YEAR, 
TO GET THINGS DONE ....RIGHT ???? 

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

AT OUR TRAILOR HOUSE

OL'E SANTA WON'T COME HERE 
HE'S SCARED OF THEIR BARKING 
HE WON'T EVEN STOP 
'CAUSE THERE'S NO PLACE FOR PARKING 

BUT WE WILL HAVE CHRISTMAS!! 
AND THAT IS A FACT!! 
OL'E SANTA TOOK OFF 
BUT HE DROPPED HIS BIG PACK !!! 

HO !! HO !! HO !!
