The Night Before the Next DayTwas the night before Christmas and all through the houseresounded the clicking and clacking of the keyboard and mouse. The stockings were flopped on the hearth next to the big blue house Bear With the hopes that St. Nicholas would see them down there. Zachary was nestled all snug in his bed so Mommy logged on to get some of her emails read then Mommy decided to write a poem for her family and friends then wrote to Santa "P.S. I really liked that silver Mercedes Benz!" and Luke on his shredded bed, and Annie on her mat were being amused by the ornament tossing Pandora-cat Such a splendid Baby's 1st Christmas was about to be had with all of the grandparents, Mommy & Dad little Zachary's presents were piled high 'neath the tree just waiting on Santa's gift to add to the festivity I set out a glass of milk and cookies on a plate (Oh my goodness, it's getting late!) The time is near for Santa to visit our block So I'm going to go now 'cause it's eleven o'clock I think I just saw a glimpse of Rudolph and the other eight tiny reindeer So I better quickly wish you all "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!"
