Christmas carols & the odd crisis thrown in!



Christmas is coming that’s all I hear

Expectation is building

That’s so hard to bear

‘Cos I might not like Christmas when it gets here


Routines are ruptured raggedy

Lines to learn and to read

All pressures I don’t really need

My melt down is brewing

 
Will Father Christmas come into our house?                                                                     

Am I good enough for a present or two?                                                                                        

What if I wake up to nothing?

Being good is so hard to do

 
Time to put up the tree

Cards to colour create

Carols to learn and sing

Chaos I can feel myself crashing

 
I need to look happy

What if I fail

I need to seem thankful

It’s all too much am ready to wail

 
Home at last to be wrapped in sameness

You know what I need

Small glimpses of Christmas on a drip feed

No expectations just balm-like acceptance

 
A Very Happy Christmas to all those caring for and raising precious children who find change alarming and uncomfortable but still want a bit of Christmas in their lives.  This is a real juggling act so on behalf of us all a huge THANK YOU.
