Yet amid all the chaos, the laughter grew loud
As we sat 'round the table, a peculiar crowd
For in these moments, it wasn't the food
But the company and laughter that brightened the mood
Twas the night before Christmas, the table was set
But the holiday feast we'd rather forget
The turkey, once golden, now dry as a bone
And the lumpy mashed potatoes could break a stone
Brussels sprouts boiled to a tasteless mush
And the gravy was more of a questionable slush
The pudding, a lump with a texture unknown
And the fruitcake, oh dear, better left alone
Yet amid all the chaos, the laughter grew loud
As we sat 'round the table, a peculiar crowd
For in these moments, it wasn't the food
But the company and laughter that brightened the mood
The cranberry sauce, still shaped like a can
Green beans so bland, we missed every plan
The stuffing was stuffy, the rolls were rock-hard
This Christmas dinner needed a culinary guard
Yet amid all the chaos, the laughter grew loud
As we sat 'round the table, a peculiar crowd
For in these moments, it wasn't the food
But the company and laughter that brightened the mood
Now we wish for the chaos, the laughter so loud
As we sat 'round the table, with the very best crowd
For in these moments, it isn't the food
But the company and the love that brightens our mood.
