A Christmas Poem

'Twas the night before Christmas

and our family went to see

the little baby Jesus

followed by dinner and Christmas tea 

later that evening

when you were in bed

Santa and his elves

flew over in their sled

 they came down the chimney

without making a sound

and suddenly our tree

had presents all 'round

and when you awoke

your eyes filled with wonder

then you quickly got to work

you had presents to plunder!

you found a box full of music,

a bright shining moon,

and a little toy engine

that made loops round the room

then what to your wondering eyes did appear? 

why, family from Australia who we hold near and dear!

 

your Grammy & Pop Pop

came to visit you too

and with your Uncle Dan

we had the whole crew!

a Christmas with family

is just the right kind

 full of laughter and love

and the ties that bind.

 

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas full of family, friends, laughter and cheer. Ours was just perfect and I know it will only get better with each coming year! And apparently I can't stop rhyming - oh dear!

Excuse my cheesy poem, hopefully Violet will appreciate it! (Until she's a teenager that is and then I'm sure it will be quite embarrassing - but hey, that's what moms are for, right?!)

Merry Christmas!
