Christmas 2010

Three excited children sitting 'neath the tree,
Waiting for tomorrow when their presents they will see.

Neatly wrapped and waiting for their happy little hands,
To destroy the outer wrapping as such joyous work demands.


And so as not to be forgotten, hang the stockings in a row,
Stuffed with treasures that are sure to make their tiny faces glow
Now the day has finally come, it's that blessed Christmas morn',
When we celebrate our Savior, baby Jesus he was born

The perfect tea set and a dolly make her waiting worth the while,
And we frantically take snap shots to capture her sweet smile

Blocks for baby and a scooter he will grow into someday,
In the meantime he is happy for another day of play


But the oldest, he's aware now and was filled with pure delight,
For a leapster and motorcycles found their way in through the night!

" Where'd they come from? How'd they get here? Tell me, was it Santa Clause?"
What do you think, curious one? This query demands a pause...
"Every good and perfect gift..." I am reminded of this phrase
As the answer, clear as day, fills my heart with thankful praise.
Merry Christmas 2010
