End of November

It’s the end of November and I’m sitting here,
Wondering what has happened to this year.
Another year gone, another year has raced,
Time is flying by at a very fast pace.

Here we are now, it’s Black Friday again,
Time for shoppers to try and get a bargain.
The shops they are busy with the ringing of tills,
As people run up their credit card bills.

The roads they are busy with delivery drivers,
Being met by eager happy purchasers.
Goods being left in sheds, porches and wheelie bins,
The pressure is rising and patience is wearing thin.

Black Friday

So, what have I bought this Black Friday time?

(Note: if you purchase any thing through my affiliate links, I will earn some commission which will help pay for my blog).

I wanted new Ugg boots, my feet they now shine.
My old  Ugg Cardy boots, the soles were a mess,
My new purple Bailey boots I can wear to impress.

My new stripey slippers they keep my feet warm,
My bank card is resting, my money is gone.
The childrens demands, forever for toys,
Scalectrix and dolls for happy girls and boys.

As you know my daughter’s room is often untidy,
I saw this big Unicorn, not part of black Friday.
The unicorn in the supermarket it’s staying,
Despite the temptation to just keep on buying.

Presents

I bought my children new storage boxes to hide,
In the hope they would tidy and put their toys inside.
My son has done this, just as he’s been told,
My daughter, no difference, her bears are exposed to the cold.

Amazon

Amazon are offering their new Alexa deals,
The Kindle Fire it is now priced at a steal.
Do I buy the kids new kindle devices?
The kids make me mad, regardless of the good prices.

Trying to get the children a good  book to read,
Maybe a Kindle reader is actually what they need.
The stress and the joy of buying the right presents,
Do you buy all they ask for? disappointment can be intense.

For now, what I’ve bought has been constructive,
Making their presents fun and interactive.
I’ve bought them both puzzles and a  green puzzle mat,
Helping them find the pieces to match this and that.

Christmas is under one month away,
With much anticipation of the great day.
One good present to purchase, is an Amazon voucher,
They can buy what they want, and receive it a little later.

So, these are just some present ideas,
Trying to reduce your Christmas present fears.
Others include, K-nex, Barbie and Lego,
For online shopping, Amazon is the place to go.

So now I have the Christmas cards to write,
Now to write them, Christmas is in sight.
I also have the present wrapping left to do,
Have a happy Christmas to all of you!
