‘Twas the night before Christmas Eve Eve
And all throughout my house
Dog hair and toys had taken over
I shrugged and said, “It’s time to get soused.”
The wine glasses were filled to the brim with care
in hopes that a cleaning fairy soon would be there
With Tate wrapping presents and I frantically dusting
I suddenly yelled, “This bathroom’s disgusting.”
When over the monitor there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my duties to see what was the matter
Away to the nursery, I flew in a flash
Then realized it was nothing but that show on TV where choirs clash.
Tate mentioned something about my “moon” and my breasts
I just rolled my eyes at this wonky sex attempt, as you probably guessed
He retreated in defeat and went back to wrapping
I finished up cleaning and yearned for some napping
With an arm full of gifts, Tate came downstairs
I rummaged through the gifts to catch any spares
One for Carson, for Ella, for Tate, and for Nanny
For Papa, Uncle J, Aunt M, and for me
A calendar, a keychain, I already knew
Two more boxes, surprises!
How exciting!
Phew!
My eyes how they twinkled!
This Christmas would be merry!
Even though my butt is all dimpled
and my fat rolls are like jelly
I spoke not a word, but went straight to work
I tugged on Tate’s hand and said, “you deserve a perk!”
We went back to the bedroom, for cuddles and kisses
Tate was quite pleased to get all of his wishes
And I heard him exclaim as he drifted off to sleep,
“Merry Christmas, sweetheart. I got you surprises to keep.”

We’re all sick this morning. Kids up with fevers last night. I have a sinus headache today. My mother is descending on us in mere hours. Oh the humanity.
Thanks for the laugh this morning. I so needed it.
Happy Christmas to you and yours.
Love,

Jennifer- the header must have wigged out my computer when I saw it earlier… it was strange- stuff was garbled together and squares instead of letters! I thought you’d lost your mind. I’m glad whatever was left of that fantastic brain of yours is still intact!!
