...and all through the house,
not a creature was sleeping
(well, we don't have a mouse.)
The stockings are hung
Mommy put them up there,
The presents are under the tree
The boys...they don't seem to care.
In fact, they haven't even noticed
That the gifts are in place
Running up and down the halls
All they seem to do is race.
For their bodies are filled
with sugar delights
From curly head to tiny toe
They ask from mornings to nights.
The candy monsters understand
that sugar is only given
After good days and long naps
And when all outbursts are forgiven
But they seem to forget
When the day is so new
Asking for cookies and candy
Even little Roo.
So imagine my delight
When Daddy walks in today
Carrying loads of goodies
Like Santa's big sleigh.
His students bless him
With things in wraps and jars
My favorite so far
Are the caramel bars.
...OK, I'm out of rhymes tonight. We are looking forward to seeing family and friends during the holiday. We leave tomorrow to celebrate my Great Uncle Jim's 90th birthday on Saturday! It will be fun to see aunts, uncles and cousins while there.
For the first time ever, we are spending Christmas Eve and Day in Athens. We hope Santa knows where to find us!
