T'was the Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the house

furniture is rearranged 

POOR LOST LITTLE MOUSE

One Tree has been moved 

all the stockings were hung
The nightly T.V. show has already begun.



The children were nestled all snug in their bed
with heating pads and asprins
to calm their aching heads

while ma in her fuzzys pj's and I in my sweats 

were snuggled with Griffin-Claus
That's as good as it gets!!!!!



When from another room there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my spot to see what was the matter
AND then in the girls room
I saw with a flash
He was painting their noses
what's next? A Mustache?



and then in a twinkling I heard on the roof


is it an owl or a cat or a little blue smurf.  

DRAT! It was NEITHER!
It was our Christmas Mistake
If you make this cute ICE BALL
PLEASE DON'T HESITATE

to put it BACK in the freezer when dinner is through
or you will find yourself with some mopping to do !!!!

And just one more thing
when you're dealing with BLING
if you want to light a candle
then it seems
you might want to HAVE a candle.

OK SO I KNOW IT DOESN'T RHYME!



Well then my sweet sister dear
sent these pictures here
and I cried some tears missing all my family
so I put them on these plaques
and when the kids explore their stacks
maybe we'll feel connected after all.

And now as we go to sleep
into their room we'll creep to play a
bells jingling ringtone in their ears
Sweet Dreams crazy Chica's

What's that?  You hear bells ringing?

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
"
Merry Christmas 
to all, and to all a 
good-night!"
