‘Twas the night before Christmas
And all thru the house;
Only ‘Santa’ was lurking,
Quiet as a mouse
Pictures he took of the tree and the pets;
To see if the Elves disturbed whatever was left.
Satisfied that things were all well;
‘Santa’ ascended the stairs for the nightly farewell.
On Christmas ‘morn, about 7 o’clock
Mr woke MRS and said, “Should we go now or what?”
MRS rolled over and looked at the … ah … clock
MRS told Mr, “We still have some time, the Elves can wait”
On Christmas ‘Morn about 8 O’clock, MRS let go and peered at the clock,
‘Santa’ got up, showered, donned sweats and some socks.
Down the stairs Santa did creep;
To find the Elves in their stocking so deep.
To the cappuccino machine Santa did roam,
With dark roast and eggnog of foam.
The MRS came down with her hair all done up,
“No pictures of me, without my make up!”
To the Tree all went, with anticipation
What goodies await the next generation?
With bows and ribbons flying around;
T’was there some neat stuff the Elf’s found.
Books and bags, and CD’s a plenty;
Clothing and baubles and even candy!
No Jeep parts were found, but that was OK;
They were bought and stashed all out of the way
A new grill, A Harley, for the tree next year
And a fresh bottle of Jack Daniels for seasonal cheer.
The Elves and the MRS were happy and pleased,
And now it’s time to watch some DVD’s
And ‘Santa’ exclaimed, as the day grew bright;
Merry Christmas to all, and no snow in sight!!!
Merry Christmas from
Pat, Gigi, Erin & Justin
