The Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house,
Every creature was busy, (Right down to the mouse!) The children were trying to hold to a pose,
And show off all of their cute Christmas clothes,

The oldest (a vision in satin and lace),

Had a beautiful smile adorning her face,

While the little ones looked at each other with awe,

At the beautiful child that both of them saw,

Even the boy child was dressed up - oh my!

How cute is that little suit, hanky and tie?

But on to the presents the kids quickly flew,

With presents from Grandma and Aunt Cyndy, too.

Then off to the church where each child played their part,

And played and sang with all of their heart.

'Cause Christmas is more than presents and clothes,

It's the birth of our Savior, as even Faith knows!

Then it was time for our homeward bound drives,

To hang up the stockings before Santa arrives,

A plate of cookies was left by the tree,

Then off to bed with giggles and glee!

(My profoundest apologies to the author of the real poem. I couldn't resist, cheesy as it was...)
