Twas the night before Christmas, and I stayed awake,
To see if St. Nick would eat my chocolate cake.
I hid at the top of the stairs in the dark,
Hoping to hear a herald angel hark.
But my eyelids did close, and my head it did lean,
Till I woke to find gifts and a note: "No caffeine."Dec 19, 2011 12:03 am

'Twas the night before Christmas,
Tree glowing in darkness.
A nightcap to savour.
Soft quiet together.
Slow, danceable tune--
He offers his hand--
Swaying in silence,
Peace, magic, unplanned...
And then, on the lawn, there arose such a clatter,
They turned to the noise to see what what the matter...Dec 19, 2011 9:50 pm

twas the night before Christmas
and there under the tree
amongst the presents was Flee
busily poking and prodding
all he could see
until he found something he could free
from it's wrapping
and ingest with glee
twas the night before Christmas
and Flee was so happyDec 19, 2011 9:54 pm

Twas the night before Christmas
And the TV was on
blaring some nonsense
which I didn't want to hear
I looked out the window
saw the night cool and clear
when suddenly some snowflakes
floated down on the sill
I turned off the TV
and looked at the snow
slowly falling on the landscape
and glistening below.
This magical moment
made me aware
that it's the beauty of nature
which all mankind does share
Let it be a fitting thought
for this time of year.
Thus, Season's greetings to all,
good health and good cheer!Dec 20, 2011 4:01 am

Twas the night before Christmas, and I blew a big bubble
into the air it flew and I knew it was trouble!
Up and up that bubble sailed
beyond the rooftops and chimneys and clouds it trailed.
Then pop! that bubble blew-- and downward
came falling St. Nick, with a thump and a bump earthward
he landed, a beard full of sticky gum
and a sore on his jolly bum!Dec 20, 2011 4:27 pm

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house,
The roaches were sleeping and so was the mouse,
The children were nestled and snug in their beds,
with dozens of bedbugs all over their heads....Dec 25, 2011 7:22 pm
