Your Daily Dose…

  • Advent 11

    There is something about mince pies:

    They’re actually all in disguise!

    With a cloak and a hat,

    They whisper and chat:

    Their real name: mince spies

  • Advent 10

    A reindeer who’d never been kissed,

    Said, “Mistletoe’s not to be missed!”

    He puckered with glee,

    At Mrs. Claus, you see

    Now he’s been crossed off the list…

  • Advent 9

    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.
