Twas Just Weeks Before Christmas

2007 Christmas Card to my family and business associates.

Wishing the same Merry Christmas to my blog readers :

The stockings were hung by the TV with care,
In hopes that school holidays soon would be here;
The children weren’t nestled all snug in their beds,
Eating those chocolates which went to their heads;
And dad in his recliner, and I on my ‘puter;
Playing with photos, which one was cuter?

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my chair to see what was the matter.
Out the front door I flew like a flash,
Just barely in time to put out my trash.
The clatter of dishes, a wee bit late,
Too much going on, kids that love to debate.
The boxes were scattered, strung here and there,
Nativity scene unpacked from its boxes with care.
Our windows were open, no chance of snow,
My son on the rooftop, following prompts from below;

“Now, to the left! No to the right!”
“Don’t tangle those cords! Oh I hope he’s alright”!

To the top of the porch! To the top of the roof!
White lights now twinkling, without even one goof.
Shopping half done, presents not wrapped,
Cards in the works, computer keys tapped.
Carols are playing, when the kids can agree,
Which tunes are favorites and which to let be.
Sirens are sounding, tis it Santa at last?
Remember Fire Engine Santa from Christmases past?

Remembering, remembering, the reason for season;
The gift we were given, the gift of His Son.
Just open your eyes, to follow His lead,
Smile as you help those who have need.
Just some little thing, to brighten a day,
And your day will be better, whether at work or at play.

A little bit short, A little bit sweet,
Just follow your heart, taking time to greet:
Merry Christmas to y’all,
And to y’all a Good Night!
