THE SWAP IS BACK

Yankee Swap
The swap is back, we’ll have you know
We took a vote and it’s a go!
Back to the kitchen and den, as well,
We all think that that’s just swell.
Off to Wenham we will trudge
With our Irish Bread and chocolate fudge,
And casseroles for a meal that’s hearty
At our annual family Christmas party.

THE SWAP IS BACK was originally published in a prior Irish Thymes blog on October 21, 2006. The year before that we eliminated the Yankee Swap because our family was growing so large, but it was and continues to be a fun part of our family Christmas gathering. Happy Christmas (as the Irish say) 2011!
