The money I'm saving on Christmas this year will be incredibly useful for buying more beer I'm not buying presents for family and friends But this festive season I will be making amends
I'll never shop early for presents to give I swear on my mother, for as long as I live For while looking for boxes and our Christmas tree I found boxes of presents from seventy three
All wrapped up and labelled in a box all alone Hidden by an old blanket that was haphazardly thrown Beside it, more presents from around eighty four And as I kept on searching I found many more
There were presents for Grandad, who is now pushing daisies And a few for Aunt Marg, who we all know was crazy Gifts for the children, who now have kids of their own In fact almost all are for children who've grown
I found a few that were given from Santa himself And a few for my husband on an old wooden shelf All wrapped up and labelled and dusty as well I'd febreeze them downstairs to get rid of the smell
I promise from now, I will write down what I hide And I'll draw a small map to use as a guide I can't wait now for Christmas to see what we've got From all the Christmases past, and the gifts I forgot!
