'Twas the Day Before Christmas: When There's Too Much to Do

'Twas the day before Christmas,

There was so much to do,

But one baby didn't nap,

No wait, make that two.

*

There were presents to wrap,

And cookies to frost,

A whole house to clean,

But their best toys are lost.

*

There were stockings to hang,

And dishes to wash,

Cards to sign off on,

What's this spill? Oh my gosh.

*

There's vacuuming to finish,

And mantles to dust,

They threw lunch on the floor,

Cleaning's a bust.

*

There were pets to be cared for,

And dress shirts to press,

But before we do that,

We must clean this mess.

*

There were babies to clean,

But the towels aren't yet dry,

They got left in the washer,

Why, goodness, why?

*

There's garbage to empty

And laundry to fold

But your twins want to snuggle

And you know you've struck gold

*

The carols are playing,

The chocolates flow free

Your living room's glowing,

Lit up by the tree.

*

There's still stuff to do,

But you relax for a bit,

You kick up your feet,

And you melt where you sit.

*

The groceries can wait,

You can grab them real fast,

So, soak up their kisses

These moments don't last.

*

As the day carries on,

Every item gets done,

With hugs and sweet giggles,

To make things more fun.

*

As the evening wears on,

And their bedtime's in sight,

Sing, "Merry Christmas to all,

With no wake-ups tonight!"

Happy Holidays from all of us at TwinsyTwins to all of you! Merry Everything and Happy Always!
