The Saturday before Christmas

The shops are packed with people - there is hardly room to move,
And as the day progresses it's not likely to improve,
For it's coming up to Christmas; 'tis the Saturday before,
And everyone is shopping, buying ever more and more.
As Christmas is a part of life and comes up every year,
One wonders why so many wait until it is so near,
Each year, however, it's  the same, with shoppers everywhere,
Buying piles of food and drink, till shelves are looking bare;
Looking for the things they want around on Christmas Day,
Trying to find some presents for the guests who'll come to stay.
It must be very stressful trying to shop in such a rush
With endless queues and little chance of missing all the crush.
Perhaps it would be better if more people planned ahead,
And did their Christmas shopping over several weeks instead.
