My Favourite Christmas Things

[With apologies to Rogers and Hammerstein for fouling up a perfectly good song. Feel free to sing along, if you've a mind to.]

Robins and reindeer and tinsel and holly
Christmas trees, mistletoe, Santa so jolly
Listening to carollers sing "We Three Kings"
These are a few of my favourite things.

Films like "White Christmas" and "Jack Frost" are charming.
Scrooge and his spirits are somewhat alarming.
And Julie Andrews. I love when she sings
"These are a few of my favourite things".

Turkey and Brussels and mince pies and jelly,
Eating till I've got no room in my belly
Then scoffing more till my waist button pings
These are a few of my favourite things.

When it's cold out,
And the night's long.
When I'm feeling blue,
I simply shout out "Merry Christmas, my Friends,
And Happy New Year.....to You!"
