Well, here we are. Christmas Eve. We made it, we survived, and we live on to tell the tale. If by now you’re still on Santa’s naughty list, it’s probably too late; However, he has been known to make some last minute adjustments. I’m told that while leaving Santa the traditional milk and cookies makes the jolly guy whistle, it’s the extra little thought that has him singing a song. Something homemade like cranberry crumble or white chocolate kisses!
Today we’ve family and friends visiting, partaking in gift opening, good food, some more good food and ending with lots of great food! While Mother Nature hasn’t been quite as forth coming with the wintery weather, I’m still holding out for a little dusting of snow. Still, if not, the Christmas spirit is in full-force with my three little kiddies who are beaming with excitement!
I have to admit, seeing their smiles and hearing them talk about Santa, flying Reindeer and the logistics of the North Pole warms my heart. Though my boys are getting older, they still have that twinkle in their eye as they tell their little sister of flying around the world, magic Sleighs and “helper” Santa’s that visit the malls before Christmas.
As they say, Christmas is more than just a feeling, it’s a state of mind! I wish you and your families a wonderful Holiday! Best wishes in the New Year! Merry Christmas!
T’was the night before Christmas at our little house
As the company was stirring, even that mouse!
The kiddies were dashing and laughing with glee
With the visions of presents they told Santa on his knee.
Round the room smiling faces, chocolate cookies and mugs
Filled with egg nog, some soda, the grown-ups chug-a lug!
We cheer, “Merry Christmas! How was that for a year!”
As we bid them good night, Santa’s sleigh bells I hear.
“The jolly ole guy is coming!”, we say
As carrots, milk and cookies are put on display!
Wash up, brush your teeth, then hop into bed.
Santa’s sleigh’s coming through the nor’easter straight ahead.
Three little sweethearts tucked in warm and tight
As we kiss each small forehead, wishing them goodnight.
The presents then tucked gently under the tree
Puts an end to the holiday shopping spree.
Have a very merry Christmas, with all warm and bright
Happy Holidays to all, and to all, goodnight!
With that type of poetry, we might just have something in common...Great job.
