We have a traditional family,
so Christmas is always the same;
we hang up spaghetti and doughnuts
and break out the Slip-N-Slide game.
We stand in the tub in our costumes
of pickles1 and papier-mache.
We sing "Old MacDonald" til noontime
then practice our indoor croquet.
We gather in front of the toaster
to bask2 in its radiant glow
while dining on frozen carnations3
and filling our pockets with snow.
The highlight is juggling4 toothpicks
till Grandma gets poked5 in the eye.
While waiting to hear from the doctor,
we bake a banana cream pie.
Then lastly we put on our helmets
and posture6 in silly positions.
It's fun to be part of a family
with so many Christmas traditions.
