Friday:) ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through each home

The families all gathered, but mostly on Zoom.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St. Nick would arrive, if he dare.

The children were nestled and snug in their beds

While the parents wore masks as they sorted their meds.

And Mom in her jammies and Dad in his sweater

All just hoping that someday things would get better.

Then, they heard on the rooftop the sound of the sleigh,

And Santa brought gifts for one and all anyway.

When the future looks grim and you just want to leave,

Remember the spirit of Christmas is for those who believe.

Merry Christmas. Hang in there. ❤️

It’s Christmas Eve and I believe. Merry Christmas to all.

I have been blessed with the greatest family and friends in the world.

Working on a couple more gingerbread houses, thanks to my friend Vivian.

Homemade pizza night. A family tradition here.

The girls are sleeping and can’t wait for Christmas morning.

The girls left cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight.
