So This Is Christmas

So this is Christmas, the fun time of the year
The time when we hold our loved ones so dear
The time when older parents wait while at the mall
To see which kids actually pick up the phone and call.
The season is for gifts to be given and meals to be shared
A time for people for people to act like they really cared
Many kids wait for Santa by door
Most of us old folk hope we don't end up on the floor
The gifts have been opened and thanked
Think of all the money you could have banked.
Now the end of the day and little time remains
I hope the pills kick in so I get rid these pains.
One more thing to be said
I'm forever grateful my wife's in my bed
