Twas the Night Before Christmas

( T`WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS )

T'was the night before Christmas 
and all through the land, 
there where these two children 
so simply so grand. 

And all through that night 
they could not fall asleep, 
they were both too excited, 
so they got up with a leap.

They ran down the hall, 
and fell down the stairs, 
woke up their parents, 
and said many prayers, 

they went back to bed, 
while the clouds fade away, 
with exciting dreams 
of the dear Christmas day.

Jasmine, This is a really nice mood setter for Christmas next month. I like the image you capture of the children so "excited" with the prospect of Christmas. We've all been there before, of course, as children. Enjoyed this one very much. Best Always, Gary
