Twas the night before Christmas And the moon was sitting high The kids were in bed,  Kissed and snuggled in tight The gifts were all wrapped There was love in the air It only came once  So it was handled with careThe curtains were drawn The cookies were bit It was time to blow out All those candles we’d litThe kids would soon wake With laughter in their hearts We had a big day ahead And early it would startLaughter’s and squeals  Jumps on the bed  Screaming, “Get up”! “Get up!” as they fledWrappings and ribbons  Thrown everywhere“Oh, I love you Mom and Dad!”Neither did spareFamily arrives, Carolers sing Stories were told  Of childhood memories This was true loveTrue love was in the air And it only came once  So it was handled with careNow the gifts have been opened And the food is all gone The songs were all sung And the guests have gone homeIt was time to get back  To life’s normal things It was time to put away  All that the holidays bringYou'll go to your office She'll go to her room He'll reach for his game I guess I'll grab the broom Christmas had come  And Christmas had went It only comes once a year But it is time well spent
