‘Twas the day before Christmas, my house is a mess.
The presents not wrapped, how could I be so blessed.
The children all playing, the have mud on their shoes
Were waiting for Santa to bring us Good News.

‘Twas the night before Christmas and down on the farm
Everyone was still out at the barn
The cow was calving, inconsiderate of the time
A new calf to deliver all healthy and fine.

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all thru the church
Faces were glowing, waiting the dear Savior’s birth.
The candles were lit and the holly was hung
And Christmas soon came as carols were sung.

‘Twas the night before Christmas, I was checking on the cats
When all of a sudden, the red bird started pecking on the glass
I sprang from my chair, threw open the door
The poor bird saw its shadow, and the cat’s “mews” sounded like a ROAR!

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and the kids wouldn’t sleep
When all of a sudden our computer gave off a beep,
It was an email from Santa, he was online!
It read “Get to bed kids, I’ll be there before nine!”
