Munday on Monday: December 26

December 26

On Christmas Eve, they couldn’t sleep;

Anticipation’s price is steep.

Awake, they waited — eager, keen

For any glimpse of Santa seen.

On Christmas night, no sleep as well;

A sugar rush has cast its spell.

The Christmas cookies deck the halls,

And kids are bouncing off the walls.

The Twenty-Sixth at last arrives;

Let’s see who in this house survives.

The weary parents feebly pray:

“Oh, let the kids now sleep today!”
