Twas The Week Before Christmas

Twas the week before Christmas and all around our place; Everyone was getting ready for a deadline to face. 
Jan has a birthday coming real soon; I no more know what to get her than the man in the moon.
The nativity scene was missing from off of the square. Although it was gone no one knew where.
Because of it's absence there arose such a clatter; that the council during special session decided to reinstate the matter.
 Rachael had a piano recital at Smokey Row. She played a Christmas carol for the crowd wouldn't you know.
We took a day off to watch a tile plow. It didn't take long to put in a mile. The way it worked made BJ smile. He went home and made a plan to see if it would be worthwhile.
On Wednesday we went to Jerry to get our taxes estimated. Even with all the stuff we had depreciated; it didn't take long to become aggravated; with a government that says your deductions are now eliminated.
The young folks were going hunting, they asked me to go. I thought why not, maybe I'll see a buck or a doe. I told them I would walk so they could stand. We saw nothing as we wondered through the timberland.
One night out for supper to Georges we went. They moved across the street because of high rent.
The girls came yesterday to wrap gifts, it sure was nice. Jan couldn't have gotten better help at any price. We had a nice visit as they hung around. There's not a more blessed father than me to be found.
As we think about Christmas and it's season of giving. What is our purpose and why are we living? Are we making a difference to folks here on earth? Are we letting them know how much the baby Jesus is actually worth?
