'Twas The Night Before Christmas

It's the night before Christmas
and our children are in bed,
sleeping in new pajamas
in colors of green and red.

When they awake in the early morning,
full of childhood wonder and pure glee,
they will race with anticipation
and look under the twinkling tree.

Those gifts that Santa lovingly delivers
will be out and ready for play;
we'll open the remaining presents
one-by-one until mid-day.

It's been a long evening
we've worked a little extra tonight
to finish all that's needed
to make this holiday delight.

Tonight we'll sleep well -
perhaps with a jolly dream
of friendly old Saint Nicholas
and his loyal reindeer team.

Our wish for both of our children
is so simple we hope they see:
Enjoy the magic of Christmas
Full of Peace, Love and Harmony.
