Christmas Eve


'Twas the night before Christmas, and we were with Scotty and Pam
eating lil' smokies, tetrazini, salad, pie, cake and ham.
We made the children pose in front of the tree for this great shot,
Then the mayhem began as they tore off the wrappings to see what they'd got.
Shoes, boots, pjs, puzzles, a truck that really goes,
Lincoln logs, boat trailer, tea set, and a machine that sews.
We were elated, overwhelmed, and convinced we'd had more than enough
When Daddy and I were given boots, shirts, edibles, and a bunch of whiffy stuff.
Then, exhausted we all collapsed in front of the big TV,
Claire opening her sewing machine.
And laughed 'till we cried watching Despicable Me.
It was finally time to load everything up in the car.
I'm so glad we don't have to drive very far.
We still have many preparations of our own to make
For Christmas morning when our two precious children awake.
