The fresh falling snow
had just begun to settle
on down
Mother was in the kitchen
baking the holiday cookies
Myself and the kids
were finishing dusting
the fireplace mantle
All of us were eager
to make this night the
most enjoyable of all time
When all of a sudden
little Jason was nowhere
to be seen
To our surprise.....
little Jason was not in the bedrooms
or the dining room
and not even the living room
Where oh where could
he have gone
Did you all check the closets
for him......
yes we did
the children called back
With only one place to remain
to look........I knew right
where he would be
As I opened the garage door
the words popped right out
Ah....Ah I caught you
Yes you did.....
Jason replied
You said you wanted this
to be the most enjoyable
time yet
I just had to sneak in here
and do my share
Let us all go and sit by the
fireplace because I have a
surprise
We all gathered around the tree
and I made one final adjustment
on the star a top of the tree
Well Jason began to speak
in such a grown up way
With what little money I had
to spend I knew I had to be
wise so I bought you all a nice
surprise
I took the time to wrap this one
with all the love and warm feelings
I have for each of you
Jason unwrapped the most welcomed
present this family has ever received
The Holy Bible
He told us of the need for all
of mankind to be good to one another
He spoke of baby Jesus and how
the world would be saved
if only they believe
He read and he read...
we each listened
The cookies remained half baked
and the dust still on the mantle
In spite of it all......
Together we had
the most enjoyable
Christmas Eve
Merry Christmas
