I love Christmas time very much, and I am pleased when Christmas day arrives.  However before that, there is so much going on and the stress and strain of the shopping, wrapping gifts and decorating the tree etc.  This poem tells that side.







Stresses of Christmas 

It must be Christmas time again
the latest toys are on the shelves
trudging through the so many shops
Santa`s lucky, he has his elves

standing in lots of long queues 
checking shopping lists as we go
calculating the discounts offered
store can put on a festive show

battling through the crowds again
loads of shopping bags to carry
and struggling with the car keys
why can`t I have my own fairy?

fought hard to put the tree up
untangled many miles of lights
wrapped presents sit under the tree
promising many joys and delights

a jumble of cards on the mantle
festive food and treats stored away
excitement buzzes through the house
not long now until Christmas Day !
