Whether you're getting the ladders out to hang lights outside, using your loft ladder to get the decorations down or relying on a stepladder to string cards up around the room, we urge all our customers to stay safe on ladders this festive season.  At a time of year when the health services are always under pressure we all want to stay as far from A&E as possible, and being safe on ladders is an excellent way to keep your distance from hospital.  Whatever you're doing to celebrate, having some Christmas music playing to get into the spirit is a must, so we've adapted the underrated Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses along the theme of ladders so you can have a sing along.

Bah Humbug is that too strong?

It's my least favourite holiday

Up ladders all day and when I'm home

I'm back up hanging paper chains

To add to my already mad rush

This season is the reason

The perfect gift for me would be

A ladder stopper for my safety

Or a set of brackets for hanging up

Storing ladders in the best of ways

No more socks I've got enough

Just something I'd find useful please

I'll deck the halls and sort the tree

Go out to put some lights up

Roof ladder out and ready for me

Christmas will be great this year

Before I climb I always check

The catches are locked safely

The angle's right, the light is bright

And I've got jobs aplenty

Flash back to spring time, gutter cleaning

I didn't pay much attention

Foot on the first rung, it slipped sideways

I've surely learned that lesson now

So now I'm stringing Christmas lights

The house looks quite amazing

With a helping hand and sturdy shoes

We'll get this all done, but carefully

Now the inside needs some glitz

We've got the decorations

Down from the loft with a wooden ladder

Maybe this year we'll upgrade it

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,

I'm going to be safe this year

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,

I'm going to be safe this year

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,

I'm going to be safe this year

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,

I'm going to be safe this year

Cards arrive and get hung up

The step ladder is a winner

Small storage size with enough height

For all jobs in the interior

No slips, no trips or falls

We're really trying to stay safe

Don't want to break an arm or leg

Last year we were lucky

Not one of us was injured

Can't say the same about our neighbour

He's only just recovered

A small mistake, an oversight

It really doesn't take much

One false move, you're on the ground

With more than just a bruised ego

This year I said I'd help

Can't see him injured once again

With the right ladders we are fine

And some help is always handy

So out with the ladders

Out with the lights

We'll get this done together

I'll climb up and he'll direct

For some festive light-up splendour

Awakening on Christmas Day

And what should be there waiting

Under the tree… a gift for me?

It's something from Midland Ladders

Just what I wanted, I have got

Those fancy ladder brackets

A great excuse for me to spend

All Boxing Day out in the shed

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,

I'm going to be safe this year

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,

I'm going to be safe this year

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,

I'm going to be safe this year

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,

I'm going to be safe this year

Repeat ….. twice

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year from everyone at Midland Ladders.
