The Night before the night before Christmas
The neighbors had all gathered
To celebrate in style a glorious festive season
The Lynch's had decorated the halls
to the Victorian hilt, nothing standing still was festooned.
The kitchen was a glow with decadent gluten free treats
The appetizers were simply and utterly divine.
Presents came out by the bag
Grandpa Holiday in his Red Christmas
Mistletoe Socks and matching suspenders
Looked ever so handsome and dapper.
With Grandma in her knee high socks and sequined blouse
The socks were striped like big long candy canes.
That children were all a buzz in excitement and joy
To see what their presents beheld.
The wine was a plenty
The merriment was light.
Supper was soon ready
Dished up and served in style
The parlor a glow in white lights
Velvet napkins on every plate.
I sat tonight my heart overflowed
For neighbor's like mine
Who are closer than family.
Who share in my glory's
And suffer in my pain.
Christmas would not be Christmas
Without the night before
the night before Christmas
At the Lynch's!
