The meaning of "holiday"

Again the time has come for all to gather round the fire, "That time again", we say, while we assess the money drained, The looks of disappointment from the twats with stupid attire, And truth will leak from drink fuelled mouths, with need to be restrained. Your mum is singing drunkenly, while flirting with the vicar, And dad is out the back sneaking a joint with cousin victor, The dog is humping aunt Jemima's artificial leg, And someone just had a turkey fart,the kind that makes you sicker. The christmas lights have fused again, so grandad's on the roof, Sheer will power keeps him up there,and of course, martini vermouth, Grandma's lost her teeth,and someone screams near the eggnog, They're sent flying across the room and land in the fire on a log, You feel your patience slipping as the pandamoniem mounts, With thankless moans of "Oh well, its the bloody thought that counts", And not forgetting Glenn, invited by your mum, but why? So you and he can marry, and honeymoon in Hawaii. With no idea that Glenn is gay, i guess the joke's on her, I mean, what straight guy wears his y fronts entirely made from fur?? The night draws to a close,as bitter, crying family leave, And relief is all too short, as there's still new years eve!!!
