A Hailstorm of holidays,

A blessing of brownies

Crafting by the dozen

Turns frowns upside-downies

When Santa arrives

Everyone cheers

And carols are sung

With disregard to adult ears

Another late night

But that’s quite okay

Because Christmas is almost here

In only a few days

I’m ready for sleep

Even if the children are not

At least we’ll all go to bed happy

With cookies, hugs, and the lot
