Tis Christmas Eve and eager children wait

The Christmas boxes wrapped perfectly

Silky wrapping paper ready for its fate

Bright photographs of my sister and me

Paper rockets up to the pale-lit moon

Boxes full of goodies to eat and wear

Preparing for Christmas presents soon

Adorable sweaters soft as a bear

Sunny smiles plastered on all of our faces

We chuckle till our ribs burn with anguish

Love and joy swamp the surrounding spaces

Any disappointment is bravely vanquished

We call our friends to share our exciting gifts

Family calls us and we talk for hours

We watch Christmas movies and our souls lift

Eating scrumptious desserts that we devour

Then we go to sleep, Christmas in my dreams

Glad to be apart of my family team
