Christmas Day

For some it’s the turkey, the pudding, the cake,

Some travel for days for family’s sake,

Kids lie awake, waiting for Santa,

Adults like parties with dancing and banter,

Some get their jollies from massed sparkling lights,

Festooned from houses –  such Christmassy sights,

For me there is nothing that makes me feel merrier,

Than spending the day with my Santa Claus terrier.
