TWAS THE NIGHT

BEFORE CHRISTMAS...

Saturday, 24 December 2011

When all through the house, not a creature

was stirring...WAIT! Who ever wrote

that little poem, I wonder? Okay, I Googled it and

saw that Twas

The Night Before Christmas was written by

a poet named Clement , way back in 1822.

I'm willing to bet,

there'll be a

lot of

cute little creatures stirring at your house tonight.

Well obviously, Christmas must have been a much

quieter holiday for Mr. and everyone else back

in the early 1800's. Hey, I'm willing to bet,

there'll be a

lot of

cute little creatures stirring at your house

tonight...including you!

Oh, I can see you now. Making sure that turkey is

coming along nicely in the oven. You're gonna

surprise everyone by baking homemade bread from

scratch so you wanna get to work on it tonight. And

on top of all that, you're trying your best to get

your children to bed. Oh, they're so excited.

"Hey, you kids! Off with the TV now. You've got

to get to bed. Santa's not coming until you're all

sound asleep." (LOL. Our

parents used to tell us the same thing!)

Are all of your presents wrapped and beneath the

tree? Did you forget anyone? Is there anything else

you need to get done in the kitchen? What's that?

You just remembered. You forgot to pick up a bottle

of your favorite salad dressing for that fabulous

salad you'll be serving tomorrow? Oh, wait! I think

Walmart is open 'til midnight. You can still make it

if you hurry! LOL.

I think Santa is looking

just a wee-bit, uhhh..."jollier" this year than he did

last Christmas.

And oh yeah, one more thing. Since this poem is all

about you know who...Santa, you can't forget

to leave a coupla homemade chocolate chip cookies and

a glass of ice-cold milk out for him. On second

thought, you know what? I think Santa is looking just

a wee-bit, uhhh..."jollier" this year than he did last

Christmas. (Mrs. Claus thinks so, too!) So

I've got a better idea.

Instead of milk and cookies, I think you should leave

Santa a little tuna salad made with a low-fat mayo and

a few low-sodium saltines on the side. (Pssst! Leave

his treat next to the treadmill.) Hey, we've

gotta make sure Santa's healthy so he can keep

visiting us for many more Christmas holidays to come,

right?

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!

Love,
