Twas the night before Christmas and in the Acosta casa
Princess Jilly set out cookies for Santa made by her and mama
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nicolas soon would be there
St. Nicolas did come and he left quite the loot
For that pretty princess and her baby brother, so cute!
First up was cute Alex, awake before dawn
We took him out first so he didn't have to wait on
His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
We soaked in these precious moments with our son
After all, it was Christmas, his very first one!
As soon as we went in her room, she started to chatter
The first words out of her mouth, "did Santa come?!"
Wondering about gifts, "did he bring me some?!"
Sure enough, she came out and found all the gifts from her letter
And the look on her face, it couldn't get any better!
She got a little red trike and Minnie Mouse helmet
And to take care of Minnie, a baby care set
And for her baby brother she said, "Here Bubs, one for you.
I hope Santa brought you stuff from your letter, too!"
For over 2 hours, we watched them open presents that brought smiles to their faces
And silently I thanked God for all His good graces
It was the best way to spend Christmas with our babies we adore
A nice, quiet Christmas for our little family of four!
It was the merriest of Christmases, such a happy day!
All we did the rest of the day was sit around and play!
Hope yours was as great and filled with delight
Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
