 T’was a month before Christmas and all through the town, 

Thanksgiving Day ended and began the countdown. 

With all the great sales, where do you start?

Black Friday shopping has become an art.

Buy presents, hang tree lights, pop cards in the mail,
Send gift packs, thread popcorn, find iPhones on sale.

Decorations need stringing up all through the house.
And you haven’t a clue what to buy for your spouse.

With all our mad dashing, we’re reeling from shock;
Let’s stop for a minute and really take stock.

Too much to do, there’s no ifs, ands or buts; 

We need to have fun so no one goes nuts. 

It seems never-ending, the list is still growing,

A night at the Castle will keep spirits flowing.

Take a moment out now, don’t get overly riled,

Instead let’s go dancing and forget for a while.

Just for a night, step away from the hassle,

We’re waiting for you at Greystone Castle.

On November Twenty-fifth, do not be tardy, 

Six o’clock starts the 1st Christmas Party.
