'Twas The Night Before Christmas...

'Twas the night before Christmas,

and all through the house,

Kids were running and screaming,

and jumping about.

The stockings were hung from the

command hooks with care,

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon

would be there.

The tree had been decorated

for a month by this time,

And the ornaments were hanging

from the fake green pine.

The lists had been made,

emailed to the North Pole,

But mom and dad threatened that

there, indeed, was a mole.

He would be watching for behavoir

and such,

And if they were naughty there

wouldn't be much.

So the kids tried and tried,

and then tried again,

Who knew it'd be so hard

to be nice to their kin?

But the day is upon us,

and the deeds have been done,

I think in gift giving there'll

be at lease one...

When the kids are all tucked in

their beds with great care,

they'll be hoping and wishing

that Santa'll be there.

As for myself, my list is just this,

to remember my Savior,

His birth and His gift.

How thankful I am for

His great sacrifice,

For suff'ring for me all

the trouble and strife.

The gift of example that he

gave to me,

Of love that my family

can be together eternally.

I can not repay him

with anything but,

my constant trying and

not giving up.

So this Christmas season,

as I watch with joy,

the looks on the faces

of my 4 little boys,

I'll say a quick prayer,

and thank my Father in Heaven,

For the most wonderful gift

of His Son which was given.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!
