Twas One Week Until Christmas

And all through the house, creatures were stirring, but fortunately no mouse.
Most gifts have been purchased, no wrapping is done. Maybe this weekend that war will be won.
The tree has been trimmed with sparkle and lights. Making each evening cheery and bright.
Excitement abounds as the Holiday nears. Caroles we sing full of laughter and cheer.
Cookies and goodies soon ready bake. Only for those who wish to partake.
Starting anew with a family tradition. Next year we'll celebrate our new addition.
Family and friends we hold dear in our hearts. Thinking of them though we will be apart.
Now to all those we cherish, friends old and friends new, have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you.
