Too stingy to buy an airmail stamp 
But not sending a greeting’s impolite 
So, writing a ditty to two special friends 
Seems to me to be right  

So, herewith, is that said greeting 
To two special folk I hold dear 
Have an AMAZING FANTASTIC CHRISTMAS 
And all the VERY BEST in the NEW YEAR  

Now, I know dear and year don’t rhyme 
Despite their similar spelling 
And saying things in capitals
 Is enthusiasm…not yelling  

Enough already,  
My deed here is done 
May your Christmas be very merry 
And (Twenty Nineteen) a bundle of fun

You will of course already know
What you two mean to me
So it’s no surprise that my wish for you
Is a Christmas full of glee

May you also have a Boxing Day
That’s as happy as can be
And may you spend your New Years Day 
Completely vomit free

It’s very close to Yuletide
So I really must now send it
In judging it, please bear in mind
I was squiffy when I penned it

I’ve said “I” instead of “we”
Which (Marg) thought was a pity
But then she said “Just leave me out
Coz it’s a pretty shitty ditty”

However, she wants me to say from her..and me
“Have a Wonderful Christmas and all the very best in 20XX”

This message from here to you overseas
Takes but a second or two
To wish MC and HNY
To the two of you

Sending it thro' the ether
Beats a journey by air or sea
It's the modern sophisticated way
That just happens to be free

But thinking that sort of thing
Just isn't what you'd do
While, like me, quietly acknowledging
That it just happens to be true

We got yours by mail, much thanks for that
You used the expensive way
But you should have put the dosh towards
Airline tickets to the United K !

Have a good 'un and all the best in 20XX

Once again 'tis the festive season
This Christmas message is borne of reason
For the World pays a massive price
Forcing upon me this sacrifice
I’d dearly love to send a card
And not doing so, is very hard
But the waste of valuable World resources
Worries me and persuades, nay, forces
This Draconian measure against my wishes
Do I sense you’re a tad suspicious?
That I’m just being insincere
Claiming this as a planet-saving idea
That saying MC and HNY
This way, is just me being sly
And of course all of this is very true
And just shows how much I admire you
But the real blame for this bad rhyming
Is my (Mother’s) very, inconvenient timing*

MC and HNY to you and yours

* she died this month
