Our Family Christmas Day Party...

Oh! What a Christmas party we had this year. Dad was drunk; he had too much beer. He decided to dance on a living room chair, oh dear; Toppled over; landed on the jelly; what a cheer! My uncle had his jelly with cream ever so thick. Suddenly, he left the room rather quick. My grinning cousin said that he had been sick. Later, he was helped to bed by Bob and Dick. My mum sat and drank her cup of tea, Saying, "Men can't hold their drink, you see. Does anybody want to see that film on TV? I saw it last year; it was so funny." Alistair and Sue wanted to dance all night Twisting and swaying left and right, Until he crashed into the tree - what a fright! The angel fell off and out went the light. The music was loud and it was hard to talk. My nanny was tired and went for a walk. My son bellowed out, "Let's play Monopoly!" The rest of the family did not agree. Dad decided to play a game of cards But mum said that she would rather play charades. Great nanny nodded but she was asleep. My uncle came downstairs, stood on the dog and made it leap, Saying, "Was it the jelly or the amount of whisky?" We had a discussion but we could not agree. Some people muttered that the room was too hot; Others complained that the music was too quiet. The children played with their presents and toys. They laughed and screamed, adding to the noise. Midnight approached and we danced and talked. Midnight past and we drank and staggered. So one by one we found our beds. The laughing quietened and we rested our heads. Suddenly dad mumbled, "You didn't play cards with me." Well, that's his favourite game, you see. Written December 23rd, 2001 © on Dec 23 2001 10:42 AM PST   18 • 0 • 14
