a christmas house

a christmas house has children,

bouncing off the walls, 

 hopped up on sugar and anticipation, 

crazy,

crazy.

children.

a christmas house has sprinkles on the floor,

snowflakes in every corner,

and a mom with flour on her pants. 

everywhere she goes.

a christmas house has jingle and jangle,

christmas tunes all day long,

and a favorite song sung every night at bedtime.

a christmas house has a place we go. 

sssshhhhh it's a secret place. 

under the tree,

we lay,

always looking up.

a christmas house has little feet that run, 

to the window each morning,

to see if it has snowed. 

IT SNOWED!

teeny tiny flakes.....but it's a start.

a christmas house has joseph, mary, and baby jesus. 

they are sometimes joined in their manger by 

-a lego man

-a my little pony

-other various little dolls who for some reason are always without clothing.

a christmas house has a mom that is waiting,

waiting,

school is almost out,

for her favorite three.

almost.

out

!

a christmas house has a fire.

stockings hung.

sparkling tree loaded with lights, garlands, mismatched ornaments from over the years, 

and a crooked star.

a christmas house has a countdown.

12,11,10.....

christmas is coming.

we can't wait.
