'Twas Five Days Before Christmas, When All Through The House
Lots of Creatures Were Stirring, But Hopefully No Mouse!
The Stockings Were Hung By The Chimney With Care
In Hopes That St. Nicholas Would Soon Be There.
The Children Were Shuttled Off To Their Schools
And They Were Instructed To Please Not Break Any Rules.
Dad sped off To Work With a Clang And a Clatter
I Went To The Window To See What Was The Matter
A Flat Tire Was Had By The Dad Of The House
"Merry Christmas", Said I, "And At Least We Don't Have a Mouse!"
These Days Before Christmas, As I Check Things Off My List
I Wonder...Hmmm...What's The Point Of All This?
And Then I Remember...The Reason For All This Joy,
It's Because Of The Birth Of A Special Little Boy!
So, Five Days Before Christmas We Are As Busy As Little Bees,
Baking, Wrapping, Shopping And Things Such As These,
We Look Forward To St. Nicholas Stopping By,
And...
Celebrating The Birth of Jesus Christ!
Celebrating The Birth of Jesus Christ!
Merry Christmas and See You in 2011!
Love the poem, but I can't cut and paste it to my blog. You see we DID have a dead mouse this morning. LOl

I loved it! Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteFlat tires are not a good way to start the day! And I caught a mouse in the basement the other day. Merry Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Jackie to You and Yours! May you have a wonderful Holiday!
ReplyDeleteLove "The Night Before Christmas" Jackie style but not the flat tire part! No mouse in the house here that I KNOW of!
What a cute poem Jackie!!! Hope all is well in your home. We were in your fair city over the weekend (Columbia) doing some Christmas shopping. Looks like we may be getting some snow for Christmas :)! Honestly, I wouldn't mind, as long as it is SNOW, not ice! I wish you and your husband and your boys a very blessed Christmas! I really enjoy your blog, so keep it up!

I like your take on 'twas the night before Christmas' Jackie - especially the line 'Dad sped off to work with a clang and a clatter'!
ReplyDeleteI wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas.
