T’was the Twentieth…

T’was the twentieth day of December
And t’was the night of the Christmas Tea!
The annual gathering of ladies and children –
And this year it included me!

The tables were set with everything
And spread with cranberry cloths.
Teapots resided at perfect intervals,
Between candles fluttering like moths.

Tea, with the option of milk and honey,
Fingers foods and treats galore!
There was plenty for every person present –
Aye, plenty and then some more.

We sang Christmas hymns together,
We talked as we drank our teas.
We attacked the mess like an army –
Or maybe a hive of busy bees.

It was a lovely evening with fellowship,
Food, tea,music, and song.
I’m thankful I got to be a part of it.
I hope the memory stays with me long.

To the KING be all the glory!
