T’was the thirty-first of December
And all the decoration were gone.
The trees were packed, the boxes closed –
Christmas had officially moved on.

While I was a little sad at the passing,
The New Year excited me too!
You just never know what the LORD has in store
Before 2014 is through!

A Happy New Year to you all my friends!
And I hope there were some who enjoyed,
My random rhyming ramblings,
Which this December employed!

To the KING be all the glory!

T’was the thirtieth of December
And the nativities were taken down.
The garlands with lights, the holly dishes…
Only the trees, the rooms did crown.

But that’s on the agenda tomorrow…
But nightfall, the house should be,
Devoid of Christmas decorations –
T’will be odd, at first, to see.

So, off I go to rest up,
For the work ahead of me in the coming day.
Goodnight to all, sleep well tonight,
Until the sun wakes you with his ray…

(Yes, odd poem… I can’t seem to do better tonight.)

To the KING be all the glory!

T’was the twenty-ninth of December
And Christmas things were nearly gone.
Not even a movie did we watch –
Though the Christmas music did go on.

Just two more days until,
Even the decorations should be no more.
Boxed and bagged, packed and stacked –
All ready for the garage to store.

Instead, we played a long game today –
That is, my sisters and I –
While writing out New Year Resolutions…
We’ll see how well those fly!

To the KING be all the glory!

T’was the twenty-eighth of December
And t’was the last night we planned,
To drive ’round looking for Christmas lights,
Either pathetic or just grande!

So, we loaded up the van,
And started off into the night,
Turning down streets and lanes,
Watching for any that came in sight.

We saw some quite lovely designs,
We counted several nativities too.
Snoopy and reindeer and fake snow galore
And Santas, there were quite a few.

Now that it’s over, I’m happy,
That we got to go one last time.
But you know? I think I’m looking forward,
To seeing the New Year chime.

To the KING be all the glory!

T’was the twenty-seventh of December
And we had a Christmas tea!
That is… everyone of my siblings,
My Mum, and of course, me.

We dressed up in our nicest
And brushed and did our hair.
Filled a teapot or two,
And set up our meal with care.

It’s hard to believe we’re winding down,
Our Christmas season is nearly through.
We might do a few more movies.
We may have a few more things to do.

But the New Year is coming swiftly –
And Christmas time is passing away…
Just think! Only three more days and then –
We’ll be packing it all away!!

To the KING be all the glory!
