My Holiday Poem!

The halls are decked and the ornaments hung.
With four little boys, "Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer"
is being constantly sung. (complete with add-ins)
Some presents are wrapped and carefully placed.
Our bank account is actually nearly erased.
Ornaments are placed in clumps on our tree -
thats what happens with your helper is nearly three.
It snowed today, so we ventured out,
careful how we act - we don't want to pout.
Santa's elves are always watching to see,
Mom always reminding us to be the best we can be.
A camel sits atop our nativity
for the angel is missing - where can she be?
Oh! The angel is found though currently working,
as the "princess" - oh a mario & luigi video is lurking.
An unmade gingerbread house sits staring at us,
make time, make time - there's no need to fuss!
We talk a lot about the real reason,
that we even celebrate this holiday season.
We talk about Jesus and what he did,
the gifts he gave to each adult and kid.
We are trying our best to love one another,
but often can't help but smacking our brother.
Reality is that we love this time of year,
time with family & friends - we just want to cheer.
So, wherever you go or wherever you roam . . .
we wish you "merry christmas" from the O'Dell home!
