These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

One More Week

One more week of Christmas goodness.
One more week to shop.
One more week of thoughts and broodies,
then will Santa stop.

One more week of Christmas parties.
One more week of sweets.
One more week are tarts and Smarties,
then to fat defeat.

One more week of wrapping presents.
One more week to hide
gifts important to the residents,
opened then with pride.

One more week of Christmas singing,
just to cause you to buy.
One more week enticements bringing,
on new clothes to try.

One more week of Santa photos,
"Get your pictures, here."
One more week of manger grottos
to give us meaning clear.
