Twas the night before Christmas

The kiddies sure make a fuss

pretending to sleep, awaiting Saint Nicholas

Closing their eyes, peeking through, just a little

excitement deeply stirs

dreaming of candy canes and brittle

Awaiting the daylight

The excitement grows stronger

making this eve, the longest of nights

As the AM draws nearer

Sleepless, watching the clock

listening for Santa and his tiny reindeer

While we with the family, on this wonderful day

Smiles and laughter, fill up the room

tearing open the gifts, Santa brought on his sleigh

*

It was the night before Christmas

I know you've heard that before

We'd appreciate your assistance

keeping the magic, surreptitious
