Our Night Before Christmas

The night before Christmas and all through the house
The music is playing, annoying my spouse.
The stockings are hung on the bookshelf with care,
With all of our names stitched on, so they won’t be bare.

Ivy is running crazy, as crazy can be,
While Ari is visioning how to be free.
And Daddy finishes homework, and I get off work late,
We are just about to put the house back straight.

The tree is up in the window for all to see,
With homemade popcorn garland made by me.
The ornaments were made with care
By Daddy, Ivy, Mommy, and Ari was there.

Its time for me to go, for the Ivy is screaming,
So I must go quiet her, while Ari is dreaming.
So remember your family and friends if you may,
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good day!
