Eve of Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas when I left the house For some last minute shopping I was cutting it close So off I went into the cold night air In a short while the mall did appear I saw kids playing on their sleds When they should have been sleeping in their beds The first store I went to was the Gap I made my purchase and was off in a flash On the drive home I needed no map Cause my garmin was sitting on the dash Then in the distance I saw something glow Flying through the sky and over the snow When it rounded the corner and landed in the clear I saw Mr. Claus and all his reindeer Then upon the roof St nicholas flew And he shimmied down the chimney in a minute or two Then he put the presents under the tree And up through the chimney he went with glee Upon the roof he paused for awhile And with a wink and a smile He was off into the night Bringing joy to many that was his delight And then I heard him say to the poets on this site Merry Christmas to all , and to all a good write!
