Christmas Eve

T’was the night before Christmas and we’re still in our house,
Not a creature is stirring, except with our luck, a rat or a mouse;
The stockings are hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that someone remembered to buy gifts for in there;
(No need to worry, Mommy has come through
During nap time she picked up a stocking stuffer or two.)

Lillian is nestled all snug in her own bed
While visions of car rides and parachute games fill her head;
She’s feeling pretty poor with counts oh so low,
She’s pale and tired and moving pretty slow;
But that is expected and soon once again
She’ll feel up to playing with Barbie and Ken.

Gifts from loved ones are piled beneath the tree,
But this Christmas, the phone will be our only contact with family;
With an immune system so weak, germs are a legitimate fear
So we’ll have to forgo visits from all of you so dear;
Next year will be different, she’ll be feeling all right
We’ll shout from the rafters “Merry Christmas and good night!”

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
Remember to cherish this special time with the people you hold dear.
