Merry Christmas and all that stuff and don’t forget to write,
Now if you would all be on your way I’d like a silent night.
It’s not that I haven’t enjoyed your stay, I have you must believe me,
I just wish that it were over now because your leaving would relieve me.
I’d like to say that the magic of this day would be with me until I die,
But out of respect for the holiday I feel that it would be wrong to lie.
I’ve spent the time following you around and picking up after your kids,
Putting food back in the refrigerator and closing up all of the lids.
I’ve even picked up your smelly socks after making Christmas dinner,
While you’ve all gotten fat it seems that I’ve grown that much thinner.
But when next year comes you’d better be here to visit with Santa Claus,
Don’t tell me that you’ll spend Christmas time over at your in-laws.
Because Christmas is a family time and we all should be together,
And you can tell your in-laws that you’ll be theirs on Arbor Day forever.
I knelt down by my bedside
then I bowed my head to pray
I ask the Lord, why must I be
alone on Christmas day?
I have no children of my own
I have no loving wife
Why must I be alone like this?
why must I live this life?
A life lived mostly by myself
at one time felt so grand
But, now I'm so much older
and, I just don't understand
Why it is...that this must be
for I know...you love me so
Please answer me this question
'cause I have a need to know
I thought I'd be alone this day
Then, I heard the church bells chime
That's when I realized, I was never alone
'cause you've been with me all the time
My Christmas Baby Doll
Fast down the staircase, eight of us in all,
like Santa’s reindeer, fly to our big tree
the very second that our parents call
us from our bedrooms. Oh, the gifts we see!
The glitter of the tinsel can’t compare
to our excitement as we run to snatch
our presents up! Then we begin to tear
the wrapping off, and then at last I catch
a glimpse of my best present on the floor.
A box rectangular, it makes me guess
it has to be the gift I will adore.
Pink-cheeked and sweet, it’s Thumbelina! Yes!
I wind a knob. Her small head moves. How real
my baby is, and what great joy I feel!

Have a Merry 3-Cubed Christmas Poetry Contest
Sponsored by Andrea Dietrich
Checked with How Many syllables
Bake the turkey or the ham
get out the special cookie stand
roast a duck or Christmas goose
soon enough the children will bust loose;
packages wrapped so carefully
set out on Christmas Eve beneath the tree
will be open earlier than the morning comes
as the glowing faces display happiness and fun;
this day, this Christmas day quickly progresses
dress up in your best suit and dresses
gather in the holy glow of angelic song
and remember Christmas treasures here and gone;
family and friends sharing hope and memories told
that refresh our spirits in harmonic stories of old
of all promises God gave us on this day to celebrate
the blessings and the chance to live in faith.
Remember how neither one of us could remember how we became friends.
Remember the summers when we would hang out together all day long.
Remember the time you told the man in the McDonalds drive thru that I wanted his
number.
Remember when we would just sit around and laugh at everything each other said.
Remember how we set our halfway boundary to the pole in the middle of the field…
but you always seemed to move it closer to your house as we walked.
Remember when we knocked on that window and it turned out to be the wrong one
and we had to run and hide.
Remember the trip to Moody and we both rode in the backseat because we didn’t
trust your Aunt’s driving.
Remember when we made the plans to visit the colleges together that each of us
planned to attend after this year; Sam Houston for you and Angelo State for me.
Remember when we sat on Santa Claus’s lap together even though we both were
too old.
Remember when we didn’t use the word goodbye it was always “see ya lata.”
Remember that party we went to and laughed forever on the way Craig acted.
Remember how we used to use the Navarro mail to email each other.
Remember how we used to just sit in your car for hours just talking about our life
and the plans we had made.
Remember how you would almost knock my arm off when you laughed.
Remember when we said “best friends to the end.”
Remember when you told me when I ever need anything or just needed to talk, to
call or come to you.
Remember how I never got to say “see ya lata.”
Remember that day after Christmas when you left me.
I remember the feeling of knowing that I will not be able to hear your laugh, voice, or
sneeze.
I remember how I will never get to hear you say “Whatchu doin” even though you
see exactly what I’m doing.
I remember how it hurts my heart when I think how I passed by your house on
Christmas and something told me to stop but I didn’t.
I remember that I never got to tell you Merry Christmas or Happy New Years.
I remember how I kept calling your phone when they told me you were gone and
you didn’t answer.
I remember that the hole in my heart is because my best friend is gone…and will
never come back.
The Christmas Story
The Christmas story we were taught so well
And it’s a story that we love to tell
Tales of sweet angels who excitedly
Permeate sky with song beautifully.
On the unforgettable holy night
The star of Bethlehem was shining bright
Gleaming o’er the place of Jesus Christ’s birth
Born to save the souls of people on earth.
Will the light shine for us this Christmas Day
Will the darkness finally fade away
Earth’s in unrest that’s gone beyond control
Lord we implore you to save all lost souls.
The world is in need of peace for healing
From the anguish it's people are feeling
May this Christmas abolish all hatred
With hearts filled with love we will achieve it.
We must find the will inside to survive
It's love and trust that will light up our lives
Born for us, Jesus died for our sakes too
A gift from God above to me and you.
Life’s become harder for some of us all
Gone are joyous days when life was a ball
Despondence just keeps on coming our way
Pray that changes because of Christmas Day.

Today the whole planet, a holy cradle has become
The love of heavens to receive and Christ to welcome!

The snow is falling
Christmas Day is almost here
A most blessed time to spend
With family
Let your hearts rejoice
Jesus came
In manger was born
Wonderful Star announced His
Birth all through the sky.

Christmas Day
Holy Day, when Baby Jesus was born
Right here it is, just enjoy it this day
In a day like this He came down to Earth
Santa Claus worship Him all the way too
Tender day, oh, Holy Night
Most wonderful time of the year when you
And I let our voices sing songs to our Lord and
Savior because He came to save us all
~0~
Day, oh what a wonderful time when all the
Angels on Heaven and on Earth rejoice, a day when
You and I join our hearts and voices to celebrate that our King was born.

I can’t wait for Christmas morn,
when sis and I sneak down the stairs.
This wonderful day Jesus was born,
and the day I get my teddy bears.
What will await us under the tree?
some more surprises I believe.
A doll for you and a bike for me,
I wonder; what will dear Santa leave.
I can’t wait for Christmas day,
what a joyous time it will be.
Eight reindeer towing a sleigh,
and Santa stuck in my chimney.
What a surprise for Mom and Dad,
I just can’t wait for them to see.
I hope it doesn’t make them mad,
I got them, a live snake, for me.

About five years ago, I had a surgery and wrote this while in the hospital. I actually
quite enjoyed myself and the surgery was not painful for me at all! Just came across
this in my files and thought I'd throw it on here, for anyone worried about surgery
before Christmas time. It can actually be quite nice!
(Sing to Jingle Bells)
Refrain: Oh, IV drip! I sit and sip a juice or diet Sprite.
With each meal, I’m sure to feel more and more all right.
Oh, Bless my soul, remote control right nearby my head!
I watch TV, though groggily, right here from my bed.
1. A day most winter-y, I came for surgery.
But I felt nice and warm as drugs went in my arm.
It’s been so comforting to not recall a thing.
Of pain I hardly can complain while I’m recovering!
Oh. . . (refrain)
2. I’ve been here just a day and sure enjoy my stay.
I just turn on a light and take some time to write.
I’ve not yet had to pee. It’s being done for me!
Too bad this visit’s not all free, it’s like a luxury. . .
Oh. . . (refrain)
3. If I keep doing well, I’ll have a great Noel.
I’ll leave new and improved, this catheter removed.
My hysterectomy is what’s the best for me.
So minus “womb” I’ll leave this room and Christmas merrily!
Refrain: Oh, IV drip! I sit and sip a juice or diet Sprite.
With each meal I’m sure to feel more and more all right.
Oh, bless my soul. Remote control right nearby my head!
I watch TV, though groggily, right here from my bed.
'Twas the day after Christmas and all was not well.
Even the resident mouse dare not stray far from its cell!
The family was snowbound due gale winds and snows.
Each tread lightly to avoid stepping on sensitive toes!
Though Christmas had been rather calm and serene,
The day after, presented a far different scene!
Creatures were stirring - Rusty the dog and Simba the cat.
Both were embroiled again in a long-simmering spat!
From the family room a screaming clamor arose,
Awakening Pa from his afternoon doze!
Seems that the kids could not readily agree,
On what to watch on their new high definitiion TV!
Pa groused about the usual socks and tie he received.
Ma got more potholders and was somewhat aggrieved.
The kids wanted to swap their gifts at the mall.
Pa muttered, "How am I to pay for it all?"
The expensive tree shed its needles - 'twas nearly bare.
Ma proclaimed that leftover turkey would be their fare.
At eventide they settled down for their long winters' naps,
Dreaming of a better outcome for next Christmas - perhaps!
As the boys and girls sleep
Santa comes down the chimney
Without one peep
Some get presents
Some get coal
Coal is for those
Who never listen to what they are told
The children lay in their beds
With candy and toys
Inside their heads
The sun rises on
Christmas morning
The children awake
While their parents are still snoring
They open gifts one by one
Some got coal
So they have none
They laugh and play
All the happiness is on
Christmas Day
