Don't Open Till Christmas
It's Christmas eve and almost midnight,
Just finishing up before turning
myself in for the night.
Decorations are up and the tree
lights are glowing,
So silent it is ..... as I feel the holiday
spirit that is flowing.
Stocking's are hung and stuffed
fully with tender care,
With fruits, nuts and surprises
and even a cute teddy bear.
As I was placing the gifts way under
the tree, What do I see there ...
hidden way in the back;
Overlapping among the others
that are so neatly stacked?
I reached towards it to discover .....
It was a present named after me!
Then I glanced around to see
if anyone was looking as I
wondered what this gift could be.
Now, wouldn't you know the little tag had a message and as tempting
as it was ... it said,
"Don't Open Till Christmas."
My concious is stirring cause if I
open it now . . . I know I would be
one bad little miss!
OOPS! ..... you're probably seeing my eyes going side to side
and a grin upon face
but don't tell Santa or I'll end
up on his naughty list!
I held it as it was wrapped so pretty,
As my thoughts was guessing
of lovely things just as pretty.
I shook it and shook it....moving it
back and forth, then held it
up to my ear,
Not a sound came from it
for me to even hear.
My fingers stroked the satin ribbon
as I staired at the beautiful bow,
Imagining Santa must be on his way
since he's already left the North Pole.
Gee! ... I can't even peek as it
was taped real tight,
So I need to be good and put this
gift back out of sight.
I did just that as I quietly crawled away,
And started to laugh with the thought
of Santa ... seeing me that way
and what would He say?
[ Don't Open Till Christmas ]
Well, everything is ready and I'm finally
turning in ..... with thoughts of feeling
good for doing what was only right,
And as I close my eyes ..... I'll dream
of the present for me that said,
"Don't Open Till Christmas "
and wish a Merry Christmas for all
and to all a good night!
