Holiday Poem (Encore)

We hope you are enjoying this holiday season.

Here's a little ditty penned last year

that we thought we'd share again.
(It happens to be even more true this year.)

Twas the Week Before Christmas
by daisy

'Twas the week before Christmas and all through the home

Not a creature was ready, not even our gnome.

The tree, freshly bought, was barren and green

The ornaments, still packed, have yet to be seen.

No lights on the windows, no glow from the eaves

No cookies yet baked for Santa when he leaves.

Not one blow-up snow globe adorns our fine yard

And folks will have to settle for a Christmas e-card.

The mild winter weather has not helped at all

It's still in the 70's when we hit nightfall.

Where's that Yuletide feeling, the magic, the wonder

I think Mother Nature may have made a blunder.

Though things may not be merry and bright

We'll enjoy the time we have on this special night.

To celebrate our loved ones ever so dear

And the time we have together at this time of year.
