'twas the week before opening secret Santa delights
After much shaking of boxes which of course isn't right
The decisions were made, the wrapping all done
We had hopefully made timely post office runs.
Friends held our boxes so we would not peek.
Hard to believe we just had to wait one more week.
We had no snow and our tree was not lit
But still it felt like Christmas every bit.
The holiday feeling came along with the gift
It sure gave my holiday spirit a lift.
All of the merriment shown on these posts
All of the good cheer counted the most.
The radio is playing holiday songs
Just to bring good Christmas vibes along.
Stores looking festive, homes lit in green and red;
These last seven days are moving ahead.
Santa has elves who are quite a crew
But not as appreciated as all of you!
You bring out the best in each of us all
Unlike the grinch your hearts are not two sizes too small.
Since I've hooked up with you merry men and maids
I've had more fun than at Christmas parades.
I've seen victorian strolls and a holiday movie,
But honestly pals you are more groovy.
Some claim to be naughty and you know who you are
But naughty or nice you are darling by far!
So as Santa prepares to give his team a whistle
So they can fly like the down on a thistle.
I'd like to exclaim as opening day is in sight
Merry Christmas to you all!
(and I hope you like your presents).
Good night!
