Why has Christmas come so early

Evidence seen on our walk tonight

The calendar is still on November 

Yet festive houses light up the night

 

Trees are up and dressed in tinsel 

Fairy lights draped on garden trees

Holly wreaths hang on front doors

Hear jingling of bells on the breeze

 

Garden centres open in lockdown 

People in a hurry to deck their hall

Surely by the middle of December 

Those pine needles will begin to fall

 

I love to see Christmas decorations 

For me the right time is not November 

I continue to fight my silent campaign 

To please keep Christmas in December
