Twas the Night Before Christmas Break

Twas the Night Before Christmas Break

Twas the night before Christmas Break

and all through our house

kiddos were running and scurrying about!

A program to present

to parents and staff,

one angel, one donkey, one stable sheep en masse.

Their voices so precious,

in our hearts they remain;

Our sweet girl rocked her

"In Excelsis Deo" refrain!

Upon returning home

a few stitches still to be sewn;

Mama nearly finished with pajamas

for a Polar Express Party to be thrown.

Eagerly awaking

for the last day of school,

my little ones couldn't wait

to give teacher presents they thought were so cool!

Market bags and journals,

Christmas ornaments and (peppermint) bark,

Hand sanitizer and candy canes,

secret gifts for teachers kept in the dark!

Their eyes filled with tears

as their gifts were passed out;

but they'll never know the gratitude we feel 

so we shout...

"We love you Mrs. Herrick,

Ms. Thimesch, Mrs. Gay,

in light of Connecticut

do we thank you enough each day?"

And so break begins

where we spend time with family and friends;

We cherish our loved ones,

and pray for a peace that only the Christ Child

can transcend.
