Another Christmas come and go
The fun the tinsel ho ho ho
But now it’s over no no no
And Santa’s back in the garage.
We sang our hymns and cookies made
But now that cheery time will fade
Christmas visits have been paid
And Santa’s back in the garage.
Oh holy night is now forgotten
Old wool socks replaced by cotton
I was so glad now feeling rotten
And Santa’s back in the garage.
So here’s a toast to the new year
Hot spiced cider replaced by beer
Winter gloom instead of cheer
And Santa’s back in the garage.
Next to the gas for the lawn mower
Near the sand and the snow blower
Spirits high now getting lower
Santa’s back in the garage.
We have kept our Christmas decorations up as late as the end of February. But they would definitely never be down before little Chistmas or Twelfth Night.
ReplyDeleteOne year I said, "Well, I suppose that we have to take everything down."
My sweetheart said, "Why? Does it make you smile? If it does, just leave everything up and don't worry about what anyone else thinks."
The day after Christmas it was so sad when we looked at the house across the street and saw their already stripped tree laying in the front yard. They have two little girls and had made a big thing about going out to cut their own tree a week before Christmas...now all gone.
I suppose they look across at our house and think we are nuts...or maybe it secretly makes them smile.
