Twas the Night before Christmas


Twas the night before Christmas, and all though the Porter house, all the children sat still (oh my gosh that's unbelievable!). For Daddy was reading from the scriptures the birth story of Christ. With hot-chocolate in hand and a warm bath just past, it wouldn't be long till all the kids would finally crash, Mamma proclaiming "at long Last!!"

Then out crept the Elves and got the tree and gifts ready for the next day's events. Just before 1 am the Elf's eyes started to close, not like the nights long ago when they stayed up to see Santa arrive. Soon the visions of Christmas will just be dreams in their heads, when they'll be hearing "wake up Mom, wake up Dad!"

We hope everyone has a joyous Christmas.

**A special shout out to those that made Christmas extra special this year! Thank you for your gifts! They are well received!

Such a cute post! I totally want to copy this idea to explain our Christmas. So fun! Thanks for your sweet comments on my blog. I love making friends through the blogging world. How do you know Carrie? I've known her from high school and then we were roommates in college, she's more like family than a friend. :)
