The night before Christmas and all through the house—-

How many times have you heard that?

Christmas Eve –

a time of family – sharing and laughing.

Christmas Eve – services in a barn!

Gathering of family –

some drinks and cheer.

I remember the three oldest – waiting –

and outside was a hearty laugh –

dash to the big windows overlooking the trees –

and the backyard.

And there he was –

“SANTA” dashing through the yard!

Three little girls enthralled –

Those memories I shall always cherish –

and I know when they have children –

The above story will be related to those little ones!

The trip to bring home the tree –

Sometimes a journey into the tree farm woods –

to cut your own –

little eyes all aglow –

the smell of the pine sap-

and the snow on the ground.

Little hands helping-

and soon some hot chocolate –

was back in the kitchen’s warmth.

Time to set the tree up and decorate.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

NOT A CREATURE WAS STIRRING – NOT EVEN A MOUSE!

CHRISTMAS EVE –

PAPA’S WORLD –
