    This is my first draught so please be nice about it...


    I do like to re-do songs rhymes and plays...




    Twas the night before Christmas When all through the house..
    Not a creature was sleeping not even the pet mouse.

    Ma was in the kitchen and dad in the loft
    She was impatiently waiting for the turkey to defrost
    The presents piled unwrapped on the table.
    When dad put his hand on a live cable.

    Up from the attic there rose such a clatter
    Dad would of gone through the ceiling if he was much fatter.
    Kids are all hyper on sweets and mince pies
    Not even a shot of brandy made them close their eyes.

    The presents are wrapped. the turkey is in
    4 empty bottles are now in the bin
    The kids are asleep all in their beds
    2 glasses of wine finally went to there heads..

    Mum an dad are sitting on the settee
    Trying desperately to put of a much needed pee.
    She turns to him and looks in his eye’s
    “I forgot to pick up your mother” he replies..

    He dashes to the car and screams of down the street..
    She settles down to watch another blasted repeat.
    Then up from the bedroom comes an almighty scream..
    “MUM….Santa’s just died in my dream”..

    The dogs peed on the floor, and the cats pulled over the tree
    Dads in a ditch with mud up to his knee..
    The police aren’t smiling he’s over the limit.
    As for his licence might as well bin it

    He staggers through the door at 4 in the morning
    Only two hours before the sun is dawning
    The children are up and wide awake
    He don’t know how much more ,he can take

    The gifts are unwrapped and there’s mess on the floor
    And now there’s a knock on the front door.
    It’s the perfect neighbours coming to gloat
    “oh he’s brought me a fifteen hundred pound coat”

    Finally we get to eat sometime past three,
    Burnt turkey cold potatoes, and sprouts that were free.
    Then into the front room and on with the telly
    To watch some old the bat who is of her nelly.

    Finally the day is over the night has come
    For another year the deed is done
    You don’t even care when you here the cat shriek
    You know you’ll be in work this time next week.

    Advent calenders are just filled and the children are all having their first chocolates, just got to hope DD2 doesn't get hold of them and have all of the chocolates :o

    This is why I only put choccies in the relevant pockets the night before when the children are in bed. If I filled all the pockets at once then it would just be too much of a temptation for DD2 and the older two would end up with zilch!:rotfl:
