The commercialisation of Christmas,
Brings chaos to every business
For it’s not about joy,
But the sale of each toy
And the adversiting is quite relentless.

Advent 8
Whilst wrapping the gifts by the tree,
I got tangled in tape (woe is me!),
Though corners aren’t neat,
Each parcel’s a treat,
As it’s all wrapped with love, you see!

Advent 7
The wreath faces the wind and rain,
Yet beauty endures through the strain.
Its evergreen hue,
Says, “Hope’s ever true,”
Still steadfast through snow’s white domain.
-
Advent 6
The lights are a tangle on the floor,
I’ve untwisted them a hundred times or more.
They blink, then they die,
and I heave a deep sigh:
“I’ll just have to buy some more.”

Advent 5
I wonder what’s behind door five?
The magic of mornings revive:
A truffle? A toy?
Some small spark of joy?
It’s chocolate again: my waist won’t survive!

Advent 4
It’s the most wonderful time of the year,
With merriment and good cheer.
The tree’s looking grand,
With baubles well-planned,
And hope warms the dark of the year.

Advent 3
You’ve heard of Elf on the Shelf?
Personally, I haven’t myself.
Reminders to be good:
They’re misunderstood!
I’m not compelled by a toy elf!
-
Advent 2
The tree lights twinkle through the gloom,
A promise that joy will resume.
Though long is the night,
There glows still a light,
That whispers of hope to the room.
-
Advent 1
The advent candle has begun to burn,
For tinsel and carols we do yearn!
The stockings we’ll fill,
With cheer and goodwill,
As winter to wonder does turn.

Limerick Calendar 2
This advent I’ve cooked up a scheme:
A limerick-a-day Christmas dream.
Some naughty, some nice,
All punchy and concise:
A rhyme-fuelled December regime!
