'Twas the night before Christmas
not a child is in sight
the presents are all stowed
for the rest of the night.
The tree is well lit,
the martinis are poured
in the couch we've collapsed
but we are far from bored.
For the children have run us
from here, no wait there
seeking sparkles, and twinkles
and light shows with sound.
They've eaten candies and cookies,
drank cupful's of 'nog
cheered for singing and carols
and many a store thru which we did slog.
Each searching for a gift
no matter how small,
that bid to them, said to them
'I love you, with all of my all'.
So now as we wait
for a morning too soon
(someday we hope
they 'might' sleep 'til noon).
A layer of snow now lies thick on the ground
and to you our friends those near and far
from us to you this simple warm wish
a Merry Christmas to you, wherever you are.
