For they knew he would leave when he heard Santa's sleigh bell.
They agreed to go to sleep after leaving Santa cookies on a plate,
Mommy and Daddy were exhausted and knew we'd be up late.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
And we slowly looked around the room in dispair.
Surrounded by piles of gifts, we realized we had so much left to do,
How would we get the wrapping finished before the night was through?
We stayed up past 2 a.m. trying to get it all done,
And less than 5 hours later the Christmas morning fun had begun!
Ode to the New Year
ReplyDeleteNow that the holidays are over and a new year has begun,
We can look back and remember all the things we did for fun.
But more importantly are the people with whom all this we shared.
And thank the Lord that we are blessed with those loved ones who care.
