So this is Christmas
What have you done
Bought all your presents ?
Your banks overrun
So happy Christmas
I hope you have fun
Stock up on batteries
For old and for young
Sitting at table
Chatting away
Me I’m not able
To understand what they say
Watch the tv now
While they’re having fun
Loads of repeats
No I don’t mean my bum
So merry Christmas
Happy new year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Communicate clear
So please remember
It’s my Christmas too
I want to feel part of
The family with you
So merry merry Xmas
Put a smile on my face
No I don’t mean the presents
Just communicate
Not asking for tell you laters
Or achieve level three
All I’m asking
Communicate with me
Let’s make this Christmas special for deaf children and adults everywhere
