Christmas Pictures

It came to my attention as I was getting ready to post this blog that I did not take very many Christmas pictures...As I was pondering why, I came upon the following conclusion which I have put into the form of " T'was the Night Before Chrsitmas" and Renamed "Tis the Morning of Christmas"...

Tis the morning of Christmas and from my view on the couch

Things were lookin good, like a bandit I made out.

The presents were sorted by name with much care

and I stacked mine up high, from here to there.

All of us were nestled in our own comfy spot
Drinking mama jan's coffee - not too cold, not too hot.

When the question was posed "well, who should start?"

I jumped at the chance - So the gift opening did start.

Throught the paper and ribbon I flew mighty fast

Tore open the box and exclaimed with a gasp...

I love it! I love it! Thank You a lot

And examined my gift with happy happy thought

I was having a great time and enjoying my own delight,

And then I saddened a bit when the opening of gifts moved on to my right.

But that was ok, I so quickly saw

As I watched the others open, with shock and with awe.

The cards were all perfect, and so were the things,

All new, birght and shiny, some even had wings.

We finished the giving, the opening and shouts of joy,

and watched as the puppy played with her new toy.

We ate cookies and watched movies and talked about our stuff

We took naps and drank coffee and played games till we had enough.

We had delicious dinner, prepared by mama jan,

The table was a smorgesbored, nothing you could get from a can.

We did some more playing, we all hung out together,

We watched another movie and talked about the snowy weather.

And in the midst of this fun, I got to thinking in my head,

Who was taking the pictures while I was playing instead.

So I grabbed up my camera and to my surprise,

Only 4 pictures were there to meet my eyes...

Not too bad, I thought for a minute

Until i realized that was all that was in it!

And so you see becuase of such a wonderful days flight

Christmas morning is pictured and re-told is Christmas Night.
