T’was the
night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a
creature was sewing, not even a mouse
With
crafting completed and wrapping all done
I didn’t
know that making presents would be so much fun
Previous
years I’ve done Christmas with panic and stress
This year
the challenge was Christmas for less!
I may be
constrained by a shortage of cash,
But I
have time on my hands and a huge fabric stash!
Thinking
of loved ones and what I can sew
Like perfecting
a shirt for the men that I know
Gifts for
the kitchen? Protection from heat.
Presents
for girls who like to look cute and sweet.
Casual
wear for the buddy,
who hates getting a chill,
Making
that present is more of a thrill
Than
flashing the wallet at anything that’ll do
I’ve
spent time designing a gift just for you.
So with
arms full of gifts made with love and with care,
House all
cleaned and a home cooked lunch to prepare
Good
friends and good food are the order today
Without the
worry of bills I can’t afford to pay.
Merry
Christmas everyone
