Eight maids milking now
I stepped in the damn cow pies
I need new shoes
Sixteen days to go!
Cards, gifts, dinner all loom nigh
At least the milk’s fresh
The tenth day is here
I’ll have to shop in the snow
I’m now on Plan B
Eleven, hard line
Leaping Lords make me crazy
Hope I make the day
Twelve is a dozen
Of days into December
Half of my time gone
Lucky thirteen now
The time moves more rapidly
Goals appear closer
The fourteenth day now
All gifts bought but need wrapping
What for dinner feast?
Main course for feast?
Fifteen choices fill my list.
Down to ham or bird
Dinner choice: turkey
Sixteen dishes adjoin him
It is soup to nuts
Seventeenth day now
The tree is up, trimming nigh
Baubles will abound
Eighteen, the years are days
My family has come home
Hugs and kisses
It’s Day Nineteen now
Six days to go to Christmas
Packages to wrap
December twentieth
Last minute shoppers stampede
Trampling my bod.
Twenty-first day a nightmare
Can I wrap with just fingers?
Lights have dried the tree!
Day two-two guess what?
Sugar Plum Fairy wears one
Gay Bay Holiday
Panic besets me
Day twenty-three, the Tide rises
What is forgotten?
It’s Christmas Eve
Ma in kerchief, me in cap
Dreamt all during nap
Christmas Day bells ring
Peace, goodwill to all mankind
Merry Christmas, all!!
