House filled with gingerbread, cinnamon spice and pine tree scents
Each of the grandchildren filled with Christmas present suspense
Excitement of receiving gifts, and tearing paper fun
We gratefully receive the thank you and kiss from each one
When the enjoyable hubbub, and clean-up is finished
After the children play, their exuberance diminished
Happily they put their toys away not a single pout
All leftover are sorted, neatly packed and handed-out
After the last family is packed and out the front door
While I get the Oreck cleaner and vacuum the floor
Lorie makes her special Creme de menthe cocoa drink
We sip cocoa by crackling fireplace, close our eyes and think
We're lucky to have family share our Christmas beliefs
As we sigh a tired, but happy sigh of grateful relief

We love having the family together to celebrate Christmas, but our favorite thing is hot cocoa and remembering the good time had with the children as we sit alone and sip hot cocoa by a blazing fire.
