The clock struck midnight Christmas was here Another fun day of the year Kids excited for presents Toys that require assembly Family comes together Catching up with one another Separate busy life's Keeps everyone apart A night of rainy weather Time with loved ones a gift Festive foods to eat for the night Lots of sweets delicious treats Not about material possessions Those life lessons with growth Smiles of joy kids with new toys New clothes for school really cool A gathered meal filled with love Family first above all the drama Once divided now reunited
