T'was the night before Christmas and all through the house,
The only creature that was stirring was Judy, as quiet as a mouse,
Her male side-kick Andrew in bed fast asleep,
As he waltzed in 4am that morning after drinks with his peeps!
Baking was finished, and Christmas paper lay across the floor,
Christmas carols playing not so quietly through open windows and doors.
She sang as she wrapped the last of the presents,
Soaking up all that she could of 2012 Christmas essence.
Andrew awoke from his slumber feeling a little more fresh,
And off they both went for the 11:30pm Christmas sesh.
After reflection on Christ, hope, joy, peace and love,
They wished all their friends love and peace from above.
The next morning Judy and Andrew awoke and sat by the tree,
Excited about their presents, what could they be?
A helmet for his bike Andrew unwrapped,
And some body butter for Judy, and boy was she wrapped!
It was off to the Lawrence house to catch up with bro Andy,
and to spend time with the family plus nephew Liam who to me is just dandy!
So much love and giggles, giving and sharing,
Before moving onto the Spads with more gifts we came bearing.
Brunch at the Spads was awfully nice,
Pancakes, muffins and a surprise chicken with tandoori spice!
Doing the dishes for 20 took over an hour,
Andrew's 83 year old Nonna proving she still has the power!
Tired and exhausted we slumped in a heap,
Before I declared ,'I need a rest or even a sleep.'
We drove back to my parents for an afternoon kip,
At 6pm to Aunty Marlene's we merrily skipped.
More eating and drinking and partying on,
More catch ups and jokes and carrying on.
Till Charlotte declared that she had something to show,
Some scooter tricks outside she has started to grow.
Charlotte entertained the crowd of uncles and aunts,
And of cousins and friends who looked on in giggles and trance.
Chasing a laser was the game for the night
before Charlotte went to bed all happy and bright.
T'was the end of Christmas and the families had fun,
Now we look forward to Christmas next year with our new daughter or son!
