I dedicate this to all of my friends with children who are traveling over the holidays. Merry Christmas to all!
'Tis the night before Christmas, and almost midnight
Matt and I are still up, it just isn't right.
The stockings still empty, the toys scattered 'bout
It'd be great if Santa'd show up and help out.
Then what does my tired old brain recall?
We leave town soon and I haven't packed at all!
I rush to the closet to pull down the cases
Start making a mental list to cover my bases.
Grab clothes! Grab pajamas! Grab toys and toothpaste!
Grab sippee cups and pull ups--there's no time to waste!
The clothes are all dirty, the suitcase too small
And we apparently own no toothpaste at all.
We'll have a wonderful Christmas, happy and blessed,
And I'll eventually get to sit down and rest.
But as the suitcases are lugged out by my husband I hear
Us both say together, "We're staying HOME next year."

Even with just a hubby and no kids, being at HOME Christmas morning is the best thing in the world. Sleeping in, having a nice breakfast, etc. Obviously, I don't have kids!
As long as you come and relax with us after the holidays! New Years again? Glad you're here!
