Twas the night before Christmas, my house is a mess
My kids were up at 6AM, this Momma is stressed
There up my ass early with no time to spare
In hopes that a jolly fat man soon will be there
These children all sugared up like crack heads
I can’t picture a universe with them in their beds
My hubby still passed out, sawing some trees
No naps in my future, not sure when I’ll get some ZZZZ’s
When out in the road I heard such a clatter
Oh hell no, family already, such a distressing matter
Away to the vacuum, I turned it on with a flash
Straighten up pillows, blankets, and laundry real fast
I open the door to tons of family with gifts
Come in, please sit, time for spiked coffee, AHHH Yes
Nothing like day-drinking at 8AM with family and friends
After this holiday I may end up with The Bends
12 hours until I can attempt to put my little addicts to bed
I’ll spend today barking threats they’ll be filled full of dread
Who am I kidding they don’t fear me
We’ll be lucky to end the day without a series of fisticuff sprees
Soon it will be time for Church and then supper
By 5 PM eastern I’ll most likely need an upper
After bed it will be time to play the Jolly old soul
My husband better not ask to go for a bedroom roll
Then off to steal some sleep before the big day arrives
Relax and don’t stress, no need to get hives
Enjoy each minute, it’s fleeting and fast
I hope that your family has a wonderful Christmas blast!
