'Twas the night before Christmas
when all through the house,
all were acting crazy
and mommy turned on the mouse.
"Kids, please watch this cartoon
and be quiet for a few,
so mommy and daddy
can see all we have to do."
Presents to be wrapped
and, well, I can't lie...
because along with cards to write,
we still have some gifts to buy.
Cookies for Santa
and carrots for the deer;
don't forget mommy's wine
and for daddy, some beer.
And then mom starts to panic,
where will she put it today?
That darn elf on a shelf--
Wait! Tonight she goes away!
So much chaos
So much noise
It's time to stop
and count our joys.
So off with the cartoon,
throw out the lists;
let's all gather round
to recount why the day exists.
This season is about joy
and love and family;
not all that other stuff--
just those you hold dearly.
Don't forget the true meaning
and don't put up a fight.
Merry Christmas to all--
And to all a good night.
