Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas

and all through the house

were smells of Llew's cooking

and gingerbread house.

We cracked all the crackers

and put on our hats

everyone got one

including the cat!

We had beer

we had wine

and cheesey fondue

Oh how devine!

It was just like in Germany,

except the weather was hot

but we ate all the fondue

snowing or not.

The last advent day

Peanuts wants paper!

One present each

to start off the caper.

Outside for a drink

Watched the sun set
A few phone calls home

And one stuck inside pet.

Next round of food

Was fondue hot pot

With beef, lamb and veges

tradition or not.

A family portrait

with all of our crowns

And then it was time

For the next round!

Chocolate fondue

with lots of cream

fruit and marshmallow

Oh what a dream!

Finally Christmas

and morning appeard

But we had to eat first

Pancakes! we cheered.

With sprinkles or chocolate

or maple syrup

However we had it

we gobbled it up.

Finally time

To open the gifts.

Santa delivered

and into we ripped.

Santa was generous

with big ones and small



We had so much fun

opening them all.

There may not be much snow

and it may not be white

But Merry Christmas to all

whatever your plight.
