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.
