Forty things to do at 40

Write a Christmas Song

Before the nights get darker

And the clocks go back,

You’re already making

Your plan of attack. 

You’re going all out

Cos before the kids are grown,

You’ll have the best Christmas 

You’ve ever known.

The tree, the presents and 

of course the Christmas roast, 

It’s the only topic on your mind

But try not to boast.

Christmas, Christmas is coming on the 25th,

Christmas, Christmas what’s on your wishlist?

Christmas, Christmas when Santa comes to call,

Christmas, Christmas we hope you get it all. 


The very first sign is when you

Put up the tree,

It’s a job of love for 

An hour or three. 

A bauble here 

An icicle there,

It’ll tickle grandad’s ear 

when he sits in his chair. 

Tickly tinsel 

And fairy lights,

The beloved Christmas tree 

Will warm those winter nights.

Christmas, Christmas is coming on the 25th,

Christmas, Christmas what’s on your wishlist?

Christmas, Christmas when Santa comes to call,

Christmas, Christmas we hope you get it all.


Then wrapping the gifts

You’ve gotta get those corners tight,

Sneaking them down

I’m the middle of the night.

Did you ever see such

Delight on a face,

As the face of a child 

Who sees it all in its place? 

The paper is torn 

The squeals ring loud,

And the family look on

Bursting and proud.

Christmas, Christmas is coming on the 25th,

Christmas, Christmas what’s on your wishlist?

Christmas, Christmas when Santa comes to call,

Christmas, Christmas we hope you get it all.


Last of all

Is the Christmas dinner,

You know all the things

That make it this year’s winner. 

Pigs in blankets nestled 

Into the mash,

And at least three Brussels

That’ll give someone gas. 

Crispy stuffing 

by your turkey leg,

And filling your plate

At least four kinds of veg!

Christmas, Christmas is coming on the 25th,

Christmas, Christmas what’s on your wishlist?

Christmas, Christmas when Santa comes to call,

Christmas, Christmas we hope you get it all.


Now to pull a cracker 

and wear your paper crown,

Everyone is happy

Not a soul feeling down.

Christmas pudding set ablaze, 

And mince pies 

That go on for days.

It’s over too quick 

Gone in a flash,

But at least you’ve

Got yourself 

A massive chocolate stash!

Christmas, Christmas is coming on the 25th,

Christmas, Christmas what’s on your wishlist?

Christmas, Christmas when Santa comes to call,

Christmas, Christmas we hope you get it all.
