Wake up, quietly weep as Santa hasn't been (he stopped coming when my daddy died) Get up have morning constitutions (a Christmas present to Thames water) Start first family row of the day over to cross sprouts or not to cross sprouts, that is the question Give and receive unsatisfing mediocre presents that will all end up in a cupboard till next year, possibly received from the person I gave them to last year. Eat dry and expensive turkey, wishing for a goose at Christmas, never so lucky. More family rows over who ate all the pies and soggy sprouts Play family game and discover once again someone in the family is good at cheating More family rows over the cheating and which goit puts empty sweet wrappers back in the quality street tin Argue over what to watch Eat boring cold leftovers whilst watching the program I didn't want to see Go to bed dejected and wondering what the point of it all was Sleep fitfully dreaming of a "wonderful life" thats just out of reach Fairly standard Christmas for a lot of people I wouldn't wonder Oh yes and wake up next day with a paper hat around my neck, wine stain and empty glass next to me and the realisation that once again I've failed to see the Christmas classic "Die Hard" on the television Bah bl@@dy humbug to the lot of ya 😎
