I hope that everyone is having a great Christmas Holiday!!
I have checked under the tree and in my stocking...nothing! Oh well, I still have my Leonardo Christmas ornament. :)
T'was the morning of Christmas and I was the first out of bed.
Joy still in my heart at what my late night company had said.
The boys would be up soon, so I settled down with some tea.
It wouldn't be long and we would celebrate Christmas as a family.
I couldn't wait to see their faces and I was sure they wouldn't mind,
That the table was set with what food I could find.
A few of their favorites and a gift most people won't eat,
A fruitcake for dessert, for them, would be special treat.
And the packages carefully placed under the tree,
Will fill four little hearts with so much glee.
I heard a thump, followed by three more,
And four sleepyheads peeked out of the bedroom door.
"Good morning, my sons," I greeted as they shuffled to where I sat.
I was a father and comfort to them…not just an old rat.
One rubbed his eyes sleepily, one gave my robe a tug,
One wanted a cuddle and the other a hug.
I picked them up and held them near.
I snuggled them close to tell them that "Christmas was here."
Their little eyes lit up as bright as can be,
And four little bodies raced to the Christmas tree.
I couldn't help but laugh as they wriggled around.
Excitement and happiness in every sound.
I handed them their gifts with a huge grin,
And stood back to watch them dig in.
With a collection of gasps, a whoop and a yay!
My boys gave me a hug and hurried off to play.
I sighed contently, my boys were good, and I had no fear.
This was a Merry Christmas, and Santa would be back next year!
Merry Christmas everyone!!
