Her Night

Her Night

Santa is out of sight
It’s Christmas Eve
He’s on his reindeer flight
The elves are on a short vacation
Mrs. Claus stays behind to enjoy the peace and quiet

Having spent countless hours helping Santa and the elves all year
She looks forward to this break
This is her night to rest and enjoy whatever she would like

She fills a plate with finger foods and pours a glass of wine
She puts them on the table next to her lounge chair
After getting comfortable, she begins to binge watch
All of her favorite shows that she missed during the year
Eventually, she falls asleep
To awake to the sound of reindeer bells and Santa’s sweet kiss
