Everyday
Is Christmas
For Me
I Wake Up Each Morning
With Gifts All Around
But The Gift That Is Best,
Is The Smile In Your Eyes
On The Pillow Next To Me
Each Day Is A New Day
That’s Given To Me
With Surprises Ahead
And Now’s Yet To Be
The Seasons Come
And The Seasons Go
With Each Day For Me
Tied Up In A Bow
Each Day Is Christmas
A New Gift For Me
With Thanksgiving Blessings
When I Wake Up To See
Your Smiling Eyes
In Love With Me

Measure on measure
Christmas week VII
7 of 7 in the Jemverse ‘Christmas week’ series
The Christmas week now
today sees its end
with just five days to go
before this year we’ll send
On its way with relief
as really we should
as let’s face it, it’s truly
not been that good
But before it’s sent packing
we still have some December
to fill with good things
for us to remember
Christmas week VI
6 of 7 in the Jemverse ‘Christmas week’ series
T’was the day after Christmas
twenty-sixth of December
and if I say so myself
a one to remember
For this year as we know
has been naff to extreme
the worst one in fact
that the world has yet seen
But despite all the naffness
we have still come together
for the best of good times
we will treasure forever
Christmas week V
5 of 7 in the Jemverse ‘Christmas week’ series
The week before Christmas
has been and has gone
And it’s Christmas Day now
that this day is upon
We’ve had Bucks Fizz for breakfast
and a walk on the beach
a tradition of ours
as it’s in easy reach
Christmas dinner’s at five
but before that in store
are whoops of delight
and presents galore
Christmas week IV
4 of 7 in the Jemverse ‘Christmas week’ series
T’was the week before Christmas
and the last day arrived
Twenty-fourth of December
and we’d all survived
The gifts are all wrapped
and the ‘bubble’ is here
with big smiles all round
for good Christmas cheer
And as we settle down
for ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
we’ll put to one side
all the trouble and strife
Christmas week III
3 of 7 in the Jemverse ‘Christmas week’ series
T’was the week before Christmas
just two days to go
Twenty-third of December
and all were a-glow
For true festive spirit
descended today
and despite the restrictions
with loud ‘weh-heh-hey’!
As we are determined
this Christmas will be
the best Christmas ever
for our family
Christmas week II
2 of 7 in the Jemverse ‘Christmas week’ series
T’was the week before Christmas
just three days to go
Twenty-second December
but no sign of snow
But the Bethlehem star
from the planets alignment
had shown on the Solstice
for worldwide excitement
So that was quite special
for many to see
in the week before Christmas
in twenty twenty
Events
The winter solstice doesn’t bother us.
It happens this time every year.
It comes and goes. A few might care to know,
But no one feels any fear.
A birth we celebrate about this time
That happened once in ancient days
Still moves the heart with joyful gratitude.
We rise with shepherds singing praise.
Christmas week I
1 of 7 in the Jemverse ‘Christmas week’ series
T’was the week before Christmas
just four days to go
and most of the household
was ready to go
The tree had been splendid
for several weeks there
with gifts now appearing
just waiting to share
And excitement was growing
there in the wings
for this time with a promise
of the joy that it brings
