Its Christmas eve
so much to be done.
I begin to bake my blueberry pie.
The snow is falling as the kids play outside.
Guests will begin arriving by 6.
I run through my list,
make sure there nothing I missed.
crab-cakes check
tarts check
crem brulee...hummm wheres the blowtorch...
"Ahh" I say with a light hearted sigh,
The stage has been set set for
pure celebration of all my hearts anticipation.
The wine flows and the carolers sing for one reason,
Sweet Jesus surly has blessed us this season.
All five kids are now snug in there beds,
The night before Christmas you have all ready read.
We put together the bikes for thing one and thing two
"Instructions not needed"? says you!
As you play Santa and slip the packages under the tree
I slip in to my red and white nightie.
Together we make this Christmas eve;
love to you and praise for me.
Merry Christmas!
