La oda navideña de PG

T'was the week before Christmas
And all throughout Spain
People were busy
Despite all the rain

Front steps to sweep
And walls to wash too
So little time
Yet so much to do!

Olives are picked
Their nets gathered up
All the ripe berries
Processed to a pulp.

We hear that the harvest
Is bad 'cos of drought
Yet the flavour of oil
Is what's talked about 

Housewives are shopping
With much rush and gusto
Desperate to buy up
The last mantecado!

These sweet Christmas biscuits
Are made in Estepa
Just ten minutes from here
Now what could be better!

The centuries old recipe
Uses sugar, flour,lard
With so many flavours
They never are hard 

The 80 or more factories
Make millions each year
These traditional sweet treats
Fill the nation with cheer

Every city and town 
And even aldeas
Has lights 'cross the streets
And trees in the plazas

There are plenty of markets
For people to see
But too many crowds
They only scare me!

So after a year
Of so many adventures
I wonder what's next?
Where will we venture?

Maybe the north
Or maybe the west
Travels with my dads
Are simply the best!

So as the year ends
No time to be sad
I wish all my readers
FELIZ NAVIDAD!
