‘Twas weeks before Christmas
When all thru the house,
Not a creature was stirring.
Well, at least not the lizard.
The stockings weren’t hung
But the lit tree was there
And wee little Julia
Thought it looked kind of bare.
She crept up the staircase
Then dashed to the table
To attend secret doings
As best she was able
She struggled with tape
And paper and ribbon
Then summoned her family
To see what they’d been given.
A rubber ball for Daddy
A bunny for her brother
And one for herself
And a jewelry box for mother.
Not new, nor surprising
These quickly wrapped trinkets.
And yet Christmas came early,
For Julia did think it.
I love it. :) Kids keep you young. Merry Juliamas!

Yes, we are going through the yearly Andrew wraps all his toys or books for us - and makes us open right "now" on a daily basis.
