Looking forward to Christmas

Christina8

I got Christmas taken care of

and I'm still alive

when everyday is a hazard

to get out and drive

 

My daughter will know that 

Santa didn't forget her

All of it I can tell you

has been quite a blur

 

My son will be happy to hear

Jingle Bell Rock, preferring it to others

while he opens his gifts and gets the

pj's and blanket he wants and smothers

 

himself in warmth and love

while my daughters toys are everywhere

Then my husband and I just look

at the spectacle, will just sit and stare

 

And be grateful for the love

we had to share this year

Thanking God for the gifts

We pulled it off a bit too near!

    Got mine done last week. But, I agree. The weather makes a huge difference. Very nice work.

            We almost always
            Are still at it
            On Christmas Eve.

            Well done....

                I miss shopping for kids, malls, choir groups in the halls. Now I sit at home and order on Etsy or Amazon. Nicely done. Glad you are safe.

                  Thanks Augustus. I did have to order one thing on amazon. Playing it safe next year! Thanks for your review! 🙂
