Christmas Joys

Belly Full of Jelly - A Christmas Poem
By Jim Lofton

The time has come to set my money free

Most of it will go under the Christmas tree

I will drive to the store and fight the crowd

Try not to buy any toys that are too loud

When my money is all gone it’s back to the house

Wrapping presents after Midnight quiet as a mouse

The presents are under the tree all shiny and bright

I spent a hundred dollars on Christmas lights

At a quarter till three I can finally sleep

Just before seven my son will take a giant leap

Waking with a cry and a kid on my belly

I get to hear him say that it does feel like jelly

Paper is soon flying around the room

I guess I better go get the broom

Laughing children is a great thing to hear

For a little while at least, I think I need a beer

My money is all gone but the kids are happy

Time to go get the rest of the presents from Pappy

Now Christmas is over and I have to pay the bills

It will take a lot of over time to seal that deal

Christmas costs a lot of money I fear

Wish I didn’t have to wait a whole year

Hope you enjoyed the poem and maybe got a laugh. I know I enjoy Christmas time with my family every year and hope you get to do the same. Maybe this year I will start saving up early so I won’t be quite so broke by the end of it.
