Christmas Morning Wow

Christmas morning oh what a sight,
So many presents, what A blast.
Stockings filled so much to the brim,
A beautiful memory of the past.
He said: Mom what I would give,
To have a Christmas as when I was a kid.
So I started working hard at it,
For eight months to do all that I did.
Twenty- five years have past us by,
Since he's been home for this holiday.
So much joy was brought this year,
To bring his family & travel our way.
Oh it's been very loud at times,
With us being older, no longer use to it.
Made Nanny have to really shout out,
To lower the screaming just a little bit.
Here we are looking forward to 2026,
And what the new year will bring to us.
We've all agreed that this year for sure,
May have been a little too much.
So many pictures taken today,
To place in our memory again.
Of a very special Christmas,
With many family and friends.
