May your stocking be brimming with gifts

That come boxing day you'll not need to thrift

A very Merry Christmas to you

And the happiest New Year too!

These wishes aren't original

But still they're most sincere,

Have a really Merry Christmas

And a wonderful New Year.

Christmas time wishes

For warmth and good cheer

Happiness now and in the New Year.

The crinkle of wrapping and the scent of roast

The thoughts of your loved ones and chestnuts to toast

May your Christmas be filled with glee

And thoughts of us and our family.

Christmas season is nigh

And winter is taking hold

So may our wishes keep you dry

And warm you in the cold.

Hope your day is filled

with festive cheer,

Wishing you a Merry Christmas

and a Happy New Year.

Christmas comes but once a year,

Our greeting sent with festive cheer!

Thinking of you this Christmas

Sending yule tidings and love your way

All the best for this festive season,

We hope you have the merriest of days!
