Another Christmas  poem

Children's laughter and joy
Sounds filling the air
the kids are getting antsy
For Santa to get there

Moms busy in the kitchen
Preparing the feast
And although it's hard work
She's not bothered in the least

Her kids mostly grown now
And some moved away
But they've all come back home
At least for today

Dad bounces the grandkids
Up and down on his knee
He tries to hide it
But you can tell he's happy

Festive songs set the mood
As some of us sing along
The whole family together
At home, where they belong

The trees glistening lights
Have a magical glow
Just as the waxing  moon
Reflects off the snow

The time, it's  here, finally
There's a knock at the door
The moment the children
Have all been waiting for

The man in the red suit
All jolly and fat
With big sack of toys
Flung over his back

With a big ** ** **
He makes his way to the tree
The children stare mesmerized
There faces covered with glee

He reaches into his sac
And he pulls out some toys
Dolls for the girls
And trucks for the boys

Then he looks to the grownups
And with a twinkle in his eye
He hands them all wrapped gifts
And then says his good byes

He shook grandpas hand
And he kissed grandmas cheek
He made his way to the door
Then he turned to speak

Merry Christmas everyone
I'll be back next year
But always remember to hold
Your loved ones near

Make sure to show them how much you love them
Cuz you never know when, you
Will see them again

Merry Christmas
