Magic in a bottle of giggles, the grandest gift we can share
Santa left some presents, and grateful we must declare
Though morning smiles held firm on faces, within the cuddles on my lap
The lights of love that filled my heart, and made me a bit of a sap
Uncle sings a karaoke beat, while the kids just cover their ears
The grandkids perform a gymnastic piece, that shall be remembered throughout the years
Grandma paints a few big baubles, then gets thrown in the kiddies blow-up pool
Time for roast and trimmings, refill the drink cooler this afternoon yule
Food devoured, and too much drink, but hey, it’s Christmas after all
Badminton on bellies full, then it’s time to kick the footy ball
A few more beers and glasses of wine, before eyes begin to dip
Though not before a game of monopoly, and some bloody cheeky lip
I turn and look about the room – 
thankful for family, and for my dear old friends
The spirit of Christmas held strong within, to where there be no end
The baby burps, and so does Pop, then Grandma sheds a tear.
It’s a Christmas day we’ll never forget, for we were together in love and cheer.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all. May your own have been of just as much blessing xoxo
All my love, Tania Elizabeth x
