On the fifth day of December,
Our birthday celebration went late.
I now feel so utterly exhausted,
That rhyming schemes flee my weary pate!
So I’ll leave you with our “cake” pictures,
As to my pillow I plan to run.
Hopefully I’ll have more to write,
After the rising of the morning sun!
To the KING be all the glory!
On the fourth day of December
My CHRISTmas book is coming along.
I’m writing in chapter two,
And trying to decide on a CHRISTmas song.
I’d love to finish it by CHRISTmas day,
But somehow I doubt I will.
I have soo many other things to do,
That will much of my time fill.
We worked on gifts today,
For CHRISTmas and a birthday too.
Tomorrow we have a celebration planned,
With ice-cream to make and baking to do.
To the KING be all the glory!
On the third day of December,
The garlands were hung.
Lights are sparkling from walls,
And shadows from their depths are flung.
Checkered bows are hung,
From the jewels and green.
Beauteous lights are from
All corners seen.
To the KING be all the glory!
On the second day of December
More decorating to do!
We have more nativities
Than there are animals in the zoo!
But at the last, most are now up,
Though their are a handful still to do.
We need to finish painting a shelf,
That is supposed to hold quite a few!
Handmade gifts, had progress today,
Sewing machines hummed for hours.
But my list to do, grows up anew,
Like a castle’s, ancient, stone towers.
So now I must leave, to get some repose,
So to be ready to meet a new day.
For morning will come, before I expect it,
And my list will again come my way!
To the KING be all the glory!
On the first day of December,
What a whirlwind day!
It seemed so many things were coming,
To hinder a decorating day!
After all, only a little got done,
Hopefully we’ll finish tomorrow.
At least all the broken nativities were fixed –
Except the lost one – much to our sorrow.
Our afternoon closed with a crash and a bang,
As two bulbs and a shepherd shattered.
Mom fixed the shepherd (Superglue is great!)
And the other glass shards were all gathered.
So now our day closes, it almost nine-thirty,
But first we have family worship to do.
So now off we go, singing, praying reading, –
You know, the days until CHRISTmas… they’re so few!!
To the KING be all the glory!
