Holidays
It's the night before Christmas, I am feeling so
blue. The house is a mess and I need a new
hairdo. No help for me from hubby and kids, they
have all gone to sleep instead. It’s now midnight
and I am looking for dirty laundry under the bed.
I pray to the Lord my soul to keep. The trash
needs taking out and the snow sure is deep.
The mountain of dishes is still waiting for me. I
clinch my teeth and hope this is not reality.
I have been up all night preparing for tomorrow’s
Christmas dinner. I made an apple pie that is
sure to be a winner. I place the turkey in the
oven to cook, Ooops! found my misplaced book.
Now it’s four in the morning and it’s time to be
Santa. I must get through with all the presents
before they awake. Then just maybe I will have
time for a little coffee brake!
Here comes hubby and kids down the stairs,
excitement fills the air. I pour a cup
of coffee and brush the hair from my face
so I could see. All of a sudden hubby
appears, "is that for me?” Happily I relinquish
my cup, then turn around and trip over the
pup.
As I watch my hubby and kids open their
presents, the weariness sets in from a job well
done.
To have a home and family full with love and fun can
only be made possible by God’s only son.

This is really cute. It reminds me of a Christmas poem my Dad wrote about 50 years ago when I was little.
I still have it. Someday your's will be a classic. :)

Your poem brings smile to my face. Very realistic, and well-written. As a mom, a wife, and a full time nurse, I can relate. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas to you and yours! Blessings, Gloria
