Twas the night before christmas ‘fore all the good cheer
Twas the night my kids did accounting for the year
Twas the year they met Krampus and learned that St. Nick
would not give out presents if you were a dick.
Christmas is a holiday that brings us together
And creates moments we will long remember
I mark it in writing with words close to my soul
So I can look back at these moments as I grow old
12 days of Christmas, a whisper in time
A lens through which we glimpse the divine
a chance to remember what we value most
to turn to our offspring and give them a toast
I never believed in Santa the man
Of the idea of Christmas I’ve long been a fan
From ghettos to suburbs to forests to dales
Christmas is giving in person or mail
So lets all take a moment to consider good cheer
To all a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
