Christmas comes alive!

I crept downstairs,

With bleary eyes,

Twas then I got

A big surprise!

Something had happened,

In the night

I looked again.

Cor! What a sight!

Christmas had come..

To my house.

I crept some more,

Just like a mouse.

On the dresser,

Fancy things,

Santas, angels

and some kings!

Showing off

to their best

Standing tall,

They dare not rest!

'Christmas Village'

(My best china)

You couldn't find,

Anything finer!

All were waiting

for that big day!

Hip hip hip pip,

Hip hip hurray!

I played around

I played some more

And then..a knock

At my front door!

A parcel big...

as big could be..

I jumped!

I clapped my hands with glee!

But alas my name

... not on the label!

I sighed

And left it on the table.

And as I listened,

I could hear,

The sound of something...

Very clear

Music!

I'd heard that before!

I quickly hid

behind the door!

And quickly,

Whilst they had the chance

They came to life

And began to dance!

And all this happened

In my hall!

I rubbed my eyes

What a ball!

Soon, they were

Back to their places

I swear I saw

Smiles on their faces!

At the table,

I sat down

T'was then that something

Made me frown!

That parcel!

It was all undone!

Look who had come

To join the fun...

Nuts or Crackers?

I may be both!

But I know what I saw

And that's the truth! ;-)

A very Happy Christmas everyone!!
