Twas the day before Christmas...

Twas the day before Christmas and all through the house
All the creatures were stressed out, yes, even the mouse.

With Mom in the kitchen and Dad in the shop
They're determined to finish even if it means they will drop.

And kids, oh how crabby, are bouncing off walls
In anticipation of the presents you bought at the malls.

Ok, so I'm not a poet  :)  The big day is almost here and it's time to stop shopping, stop frantic holiday baking and settle down to relax with your family.  No matter what didn't get finished or how things didn't turn out as envisioned, you can give your children a wonderful, memorable day by just being happy with what you have and showing appreciation for the blessings that your family received this year.  You kids will probably forget the gifts but will always remember the laughter and the love.

Don't stay up too late now wrapping presents!
