Twas the Night Before Christmas Eve...Dec 23 '06 Write an essay on this topic.The Bottom Line Twas the Night Before Christmas Eve. Twas the night before Christmas Eve And I sit in my chair, Reading folk’s great reviews, Written with such flair. Upstairs in my room Is a pile of presents to wrap But instead I will write. Oh, what a mishap. I just couldn’t take it, The mess and the strain. It turned into chaos. Allow me to explain: I sat on the floor, Wrapping paper at hand. A quick festive packaging Is what I had planned. As I sorted though gifts For nephews, nieces, and more. Then the task at hand, I began to implore. I had rolled out the paper, And tossed about bows. Wrote out the labels, To whom each gift goes. From the top of the pile There arose such a clatter, Barbies and Hotwheels Began to tumble and scatter. I leaped from my spot Gathering toys all askew, And was accosted by a blanket Imprinted with Pikachue. As I emerged from the pile Using all of my might. I saw in front of me A pitiful sight. My beautiful paper, Crumpled, torn and uncut. Tape stuck in my hair And bows stuck to my butt. Then to my wondering Eyes should appear, But a curious child Sneaking close near. Up the stairs and across The hall he did sneak He thought just maybe He could get in a peek. At that point My temper did boil. This Christmas he Was not going to spoil. “On child, go running” I shouted “Right Now!” “Before you see Your mom have a cow!” To the bottom of the stairs He dashed with such fear. He knew a good yelling Was mighty close near. I chased him away And down the stairs. All of the while Getting such glares. And now he is pouting And watching T.V. Sitting and wondering. What has gotten into me. So, here I now sit, Still lots to prepare. But, frankly I don’t really, Give much a care. Ok… I do. You are right. After all, Christmas Eve. Is tomorrow night. So, as my husband Tucks my son into bed. Visions of Legos Will dance in his head. I will resume wrapping His fantasy treasures, Because his Christmas morning elation Will give me such pleasure. As I head for this big task I wish to all on this site: “Merry Christmas to all, And to all a good night!”  |
