It cost a fortune at the Post Office – I should have sent them vouchers.
They can just buy what they want then – so it’s better.
But I think it looks a little bit impersonal, don’t you?
Like the photocopied circulated letter.

It’s difficult to know just what to buy these days, I know,
when everyone has everything they need.
I’ve been ages on the internet and trudging round the shops,
and………. actually ………. a lot of it is greed.

I’m sure you all agree with me – the problem is the men.
Whatever do you buy – they’re all the same.
A DVD, a shirt and tie, a pair of socks, a sweater,
a gift with an engraving of their name?

It’s a nightmare – who would do it? Well, the ladies would, that’s true!
Admit it – who buys presents in your house??
No – I mean, the routine ones, the relatives, the neighbours
Not the only one – the present for your spouse!

Sorry?? Did you say something? I can’t believe I heard that!
Do I know what all this means? Of course I do!!
But…I’ve got no time for Jesus now, for Heaven’s sake!!– it’s Christmas!!
I’m too busy wrapping presents – so should you!!
