Christmas Eve
Christmas eve
It wasn't quite a silent night
wrapping and bows had taken flight
the girls were stirring in their bed
cause egg nogg'ed parents had made their stead
They giggled and jostled through the packing
the presents under the tree were stacking
so, if you find a miss label or two
the cat deserved the skate board blue
the dog needed the harry potter
and lil' sis could use the collared trotter
Dad needed the pink sparkly dress
Mom loves the hunting knife from Hess
Big sis loves her cat nip ball
the family needed the toy barn stall
so, practice your nicest sharing
love of course is in the pairing
the matching of the gift to you
is in the magic as nut meg flew
so, Merry Christmas to all,
and to all a good night.
-Lisa Treweek
