Merry Christmas

T’was the night before,
the night before Christmas.
When all through the house
Every creature was stirring,
Even the mouse.

The stockings were hung,
on the doorknob with flair,
In hope that my spouse,
Would fill it with care.

There rose such a clatter,
As the tree was uncrated,
With huffing and puffing,
T’was quickly adorned,
With lights that twinkled
And icicles galore.

Getting ready for Christmas
Seems quite like a chore
Till you remember the children
The twinkle of their eyes,
and wonder in their hearts.

Seems fitting you know,
To spend so much time,
Spreading cheer and good wishes
With those you hold dear.

I give thanks to God,
For the gift of His son,
who started it all
One Christmas morn.

Merry Christmas
