‘Twas the Night Before Christmas

It’s that time again; Christmas Eve! And though I’ll be traveling today with 3 separate Christmases already planned out when I arrive, I’m trying to stay positive and cheerful. But, for those who appreciate a bit of sarcasm, take my poem with a grain of salt.

‘Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the house
was a flurry of activity
after a six hour drive

And I with my night cap
and CT with his pipe
had just moved into the living room
to take a quick nap

When all of a sudden,
bursting out from the tree
was a giant load of presents
right up to my knee

Loads upon loads of ribbons and bows
gleaming and glittering in neatly lined rows

I can’t say it added to the holiday cheer
I think I’ll sit back and have just one more beer.

Happy Holidays, everyone! Have a wonderful and safe weekend.
