Twas the night before Christmas

"Twas the night before Christmas" and I thought I was dead, my feet felt like two big clumps of lead. There was pounding in my head, all I could see was red. What a week this had been, maybe I need a big glass of gin. The house had to be really clean, everywhere I hung red and green. I started cooking my famous pies, maybe they will win a huge prize. No mash potatoes just lots of fries, with a turkey that is full-size. Tomorrow is Christmas day, guess Santa will be here with his sleigh. The kids will want to play, to my warm bed I will run away.

Dear Paula, I loved reading your playful twist for it captures the exhausting reality of holiday preparations with humor and wit. Your rhyming couplets cleverly contrast the idealized version with the chaotic, tiring experience many face. Paula this is so refreshing and relatable! Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
