'Twas the day before Christmas,
There was so much to do,
But one baby didn't nap,
No wait, make that two.
*
There were presents to wrap,
And cookies to frost,
A whole house to clean,
But their best toys are lost.
*
There were stockings to hang,
And dishes to wash,
Cards to sign off on,
What's this spill? Oh my gosh.
*
There's vacuuming to finish,
And mantles to dust,
They threw lunch on the floor,
Cleaning's a bust.
*
There were pets to be cared for,
And dress shirts to press,
But before we do that,
We must clean this mess.
*
There were babies to clean,
But the towels aren't yet dry,
They got left in the washer,
Why, goodness, why?
*
There's garbage to empty
And laundry to fold
But your twins want to snuggle
And you know you've struck gold
*
The carols are playing,
The chocolates flow free
Your living room's glowing,
Lit up by the tree.
*
There's still stuff to do,
But you relax for a bit,
You kick up your feet,
And you melt where you sit.
*
The groceries can wait,
You can grab them real fast,
So, soak up their kisses
These moments don't last.
*
As the day carries on,
Every item gets done,
With hugs and sweet giggles,
To make things more fun.
*
As the evening wears on,
And their bedtime's in sight,
Sing, "Merry Christmas to all,
With no wake-ups tonight!"
Happy Holidays from all of us at TwinsyTwins to all of you! Merry Everything and Happy Always!
