Twas the night before Christmas... And all through the house...

The kids we excited... to open some early gifts from family

We all sat down on the living room floor

To open gifts from Grandmom Noel, Aunt Christy and more

 Emily got the game Jenga and a very pretty watch

Dylan got a Game board and pieces that match

Skyler got a motorcycle and a box of Lego's

And Hayden got My little Pony and stamps to color

 Deryk got a shirt from LL bean

And I got cookbooks to make muffins and cookies

We cleaned up after ourselves

and put their new gifts up on the shelves

The kids all got into their Christmas Jammies

Footie Pajamas this year to stay nice and cozy

Even thought the weather was not cold

62 degrees to be exact

They each took their picture by the christmas tree

And put out milk and cookies and for Santa to eat 

Then it was time to get into their beds

and let all of their christmas wishes run through their heads

The sleeping kiddies were dreaming in glee,

hoping to find cool gifts under the tree.
They all knew that Santa was well on his way,
but instead of sleeping, they were looking for a sleigh.

The tropical moon gave the lake a glow,
and lighted the way for old Santa below.
As he jumped from his sleigh he gave a wee chuckle,
he was dressed in Bermudas with and a shirt with buttons,

There weren't any chimneys, but that caused no gloom,
for Santa came in through the Florida room.
He stopped at each house....stayed only a minute,
emptying his sack of stuff that was in it.

Before he departed, he treated himself
to a glass of orange juice upon the shelf.
He turned with a jerk and bounced to the sleigh,
remembering he still had to get on his way.

He gave a quick tug on the reindeers reins
and up in the air he went, but exclaimed
as he drifted out of sight,
"MERRY CHRISTMAS Y'ALL, ENJOY YOUR WARM NIGHT!

Merry Christmas from the Anderson's!
