3 Days before Christmas

Twas three days before Christmas, and all through the house,
The panic was starting, and even the mouse
Knew better than stand near the kitchen and stare,
And away from the sewing room -don't even go there.
The projects to finish, the work left to do,
The presents to wrap, and more cooking, too
As aunties and uncles, grandmas and pas
and nieces and nephews expect Santa Claus,
And husbands lay low, lest they get in the way,
and children don't need an excuse to go play,
On cookies, on bread dough, on stockings, on holly,
On gooses to stuff, on cranberry jelly,
Sew last minute presents, wrap last minute toys
for almost forgotten good girls and boys.
Time is awasting! It soon will be here!
That moment we look for - Sweet Christmas cheer!
In honor of that birth down in Bethelem way,
Merry Christmas to you, and have a great day.
