Christmas Eve

"Twas the night before Christmas". House is crowded, noisy, and warm. No wise Men from the east; but our children and their Children are gathered for gifts and a gumbo feast. "Twas the night before Christmas". Near the green tree is the place to be. The gumbo is the Christmas meal, and Everyone agrees, it's a deal of a meal. "Twas the night before Christmas". Rice, crab, shrimp, sausage, chicken; Well-seasoned and all-you-can-eat. Keeps us warm inside. A real treat. "Twas the night before Christmas". The night that we celebrate Christmas. By midnight, all is calm; the kids are gone. Christmas day? My bride and I are home alone. 112722PSCtest, The Night Before 3. Joseph May.3P
