On the second day of December,
Decorating never came off as planned.
Nothing of major importance transpired,
No ones activity was very grand.

The family did have afternoon tea,
With Irish cheese and chocolate cake.
And while the food may sound a bit odd,
It did quite a delicious repast make!

When the sun had sank below the mountains,
And the stars were twinkling in the sky,
The family drove around neighborhoods,
Watching the Christmas lights that went by.

Weary at last, they came home,
Ready to go to sleep in their beds.
With visions of twinkling Christmas lights,
Colorfully dancing in their heads!

To the KING be all the glory!

On the first day of December,
Fevers and sneezes abounded!
Five out of seven had caught the cold,
And a chorus of sniffles resounded!

Yet, the family was determined,
Sick though they might be,
To have decorations up,
For their tired eyes to see.

So they unpacked the nativities,
Most of them at any rate,
And put up their CHRISTmas tree –
Then all, in a half decorated state.

The morning will be soon enough,
To finish the work begun this day.
And they just know when it’s finished,
It will be, lovely in every way!

To the KING be all the glory!
