Let’s
Celebrate Christmas till July
Rough Draft
by Patti Wood
Spent two hours untangling the Christmas
lights
Strung them up, then they didn’t work right
Went to three stores to find more in white
Decorating the tree will take all night
I’m keeping
up all the Christmas lights
Santa can
see them next time he flies by
I’m not
taking down our tree all bright
Let’s
celebrate Christmas till July
Not packing
up the boughs down the banister
I’m not
retying all those big red bows
Not baking
more cookies for the canister
No more
cooking for me. You heat up all I froze
I’m keeping
up the Christmas lights
Santa can
see them next time he flies by
I’m not
taking down our tree all bright
Let’s
celebrate Christmas till July
I’ve picked
up and vacuumed this house enough
I’ve filled
ten garbage bags with all our trash
I’ve battled
crowds and traffic to buy you stuff
Let’s enjoy
it and next year give me cash
I’m keeping
up the Christmas lights
Santa can
see them next time he flies by
I’m not taking
down our tree all bright
Let’s
celebrate Christmas till July
I want to sit
with my feet up by the fireplace
And listen
to each Christmas carol
I want us
together not rushed let’s feel God’s grace
And drink a
little mulled wine, make that a barrel
I’m keeping
up the Christmas lights
Santa can
see them next year when he flies by
I’m not
taking down our tree all bright
Let’s celebrate Christmas
Let’s celebrate Christmas
Let’s celebrate
Christmas
Let’s celebrate
Christmas tilllll July
