CHRISTMAS EVE IS COMING SOON NOW YOU DEAR OL' MAN

MY FAVORITE SONG EVER OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS

JOLLY OL' SAINT NICHOLAS

It has always reminded me of the excitement of Santa

coming tonight.

There are those at my school who do not believe in Santa.

They say that every year your parents buy presents and

put them under your tree.

Well I say to all these children out there and to those

who may be reading this:

At my house Santa comes.

Every year I hear sleigh bells in the night.

Every year there is an unexpected present under my tree

in which no one claims to have bought.

Every year on this very day that

I call Christmas Eve I remember times past

when I went to bed wondering whether or not

there is a Santa.

The one thing I do know that at my house,

he lives and so does the baby Jesus who

calls tomorrow his birthday.

Let the magic of this nasty weathered Christmas Eve

live forever in your life.

Enjoy the moment when you tuck your little ones

in tonight as they listen for sleigh bells.

Put out the cookies and milk and a nice note for

Santa just in case he is hungry when he gets to

your house. Put reindeer food on the lawn.

Read TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

whether it be the Cajun version or the traditional.

Enjoy the magic of having little ones under your feet.

Be extra patient today and tomorrow so that

all the little ones memories are of wonderful holiday cheer.

Drink some eggnog with your significant other

and while the kids have

VISIONS OF SUGARPLUMS DANCING IN THEIR HEADS

share some good memories between the two of you,

make your own adult traditions

and slow down, enjoy the moment

and may all your Christmas dreams come true.
