On the Twenty-Fourth Day of December …

‘Twas the twenty-fourth day of December
The day was CHRISTmas Eve!
The children stayed at home,
While the parents had to leave.

Cooking, baking, mixing –
There was so much to do!
Everyone hurrying here and there –
The house was almost a zoo!

Presents to finish,
Oh! sewing finally complete!
It seemed sometimes hard work,
Just to find time to take a seat.

The evening finale being Lasagna dinner,
Then a trip to drive by CHRISTmas lights.
The baby (most of the time that is)
Really enjoyed the sights!

Well… ’twas the night before CHRISTmas,
And all through the house,
Many creatures were still stirring –
Just hopefully no mouse!

To the KING be all the glory!
