1573 - I'm not dreaming - it is a white Christmas!

Actually it has been a white Christmas
Okay, I don't think it snowed today, but
There was a white covering on the trees
On hedges, lawns, on roofs and chimney-pots
As I drew back the curtains, then I got
A good look at my mum's garden at dawn...
More so than in my flat, this place is hot
(The heating works well). My jumper was shorn
This evening on our return from Gillian
And Kevin's house, where we both nearly froze
But at least they cooked for us, though we brought
Our own trifle. No alcohol's gone down
My neck yet, but a bottle of Baileys
Is in my mum's sideboard... I'll have a bit!
