"'Twas the Night Before Christmas"


Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

The Rushton's excitement, one could not douse

The church clothes were hung by the bed with care

In hopes that all would soon be dressed without snare

The children were wrestled all snug in their seats

And we were off to the church to sing with a beat

And Perry and family lead a wonderful prayer

For all of us to remember the Son Mary did bear...

When, out of the church, our tummies like beasts

Off to Grammy and Papa's for a delicious feast!

Long ago, when young, Papa's mother did cook

Yummy seafood casserole, and so, by the book

Grammy will fix it for her family

The same great dish derived from the sea

Then home again, home again, home again quick

For it is time to get ready for jolly St. Nick

More rapid than computers the children they came

And Mom whistled and shouted and called them by name

"Now, Hannah! now Knox! now Katy and Macon!

On David, let's hurry, you think this's vacation?

To your rooms in the house! to your warm, comfy beds!

Now dash away, dash away, lay down your sweet heads!"

As the cookies were placed on a plate by the fire

and carrots and celery, for that's what reindeers desire

New jammies for all 'cause last year's they outgrew

And little voices insist, "Mom and Dad, go to bed too!"

And then, in a twinkling, they heard on the street

The jingling and jangling of bells on his feet

Down the road St. Nicholas came with a bound

With cars driving past and honking their sounds

He was smaller than last year, with no loot to boot

And his clothes were quite shabby, like a second-hand suit

But the children believed and Mom and Dad sighed

"Not too many more years" as a tear fell from their eye

Then, into the darkness, he disappeared

and our children screeched out "Will he come back here?"

As we got them tucked in their soft warm beds

And thanked God for the Present, my little ones said

"This year's the best, Mom, keep on the night-light"

Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!!!
