The cards all show a white Christmas
Romantic coatings of snow
But it's seldom white at Christmas
That's not the Christmas we know.

It's going to be damp and overcast
It's very likely to rain
Fog to start with, rather dull
The same old Christmas again.

So manage your expectations
Don't go expecting too much
It won't be a perfect Christmas
But could be OK with luck.

It wasn't great for the Christ child
They laid him down in the muck
He never said life'd be perfect
But shared life on earth with us.

It can be a decent Christmas
If you make it so your self
The weather doesn't make Christmas
It's down to each one of us.
