Mince pies big as eyes
Mum’s getting stressed
The twins won’t get dressed
Hot mince pies,
Cold turkey thighs
‘a charming little white’
See Alfie’s already tight
Christmas cake stuffed with fruit and brandy
Hang on gran’s looking randy
Mum cackles mouth full of bacon wrapped fig
Have you ever seen a carrot that big
Cousin Fanny gives her danny a look
Hides his face in a book
Auntie take the weight off your feet
Come on you lout, you’ve nicked her seat
Who wants more of the meat ?
When I was a lad ..
Eat more veg dad
Oh do leave it out
OK just one sprout
I think I’ve lost a tooth
Any one seen Ruth
She’s round at Louises
Biscuit and cheeses,
Nah im fit to burst,
Mind you still got a thirst
King’s on the telly
Look at my belly
Don’t watch that
He’s a bit of a prat
We always saw the queen
Nan don’t make a scene
What about a port
Rather have a stout
Don’t blame me if you get gout




That's great fun. Those busy, bustling, bellybusting Christmasses of real life families are so much richer than the plastic versions on the TV. Hope you are well Mark. Congrats on a great year for M&S. Would love to see you in our Facebook Group if you have the time. Happy New Year
The joys of gathered families observed!
