Christmas this year was celebrated at the Castletons.
All of Jono's siblings were able to come down and we had so much fun spending time together.
I wrote a poem about our Christmas activities.
Enjoy.
We have reason to celebrate this time of year
A graduation, new homes, loved ones dear
A new kitchen, health and jobs old and new
We came together of thirteen crew
Christmas Eve for Simon was a little bit rough
He split open his lip, but boy was he tough
Don’t forget Miss Janie so quiet and small
We hope someday soon she learns how to crawl
Then there is Powell, aka “Mr Steal Your Girl”
Who could resist those adorable curls?
You watch sports on TV and point at the ball
But you can’t use a smartphone without making a call
Christmas Eve night was at the home of Aunt Lyn
Where the Castletons came together with all of their kin
We ate, talked and acted the Nativity story
And sang of Christ’s birth and all of His glory
Christmas morning came and was full of delight
Santa had come and brought presents in the night
Packages and bags were unwrapped with joy
And the kids were delighted with all of their toys
Mimi could not join us due to her aging condition
But watched Christmas morning through Internet transmission
She loved the chaos and all the action
As she witnessed the unwrapping and saw our reactions
There was another present given that day
The giver left it and then slipped away
On the stairs was found pajamas all filled with poo
Come to find out it was left by lil’ Miss Ru
Lets not forget the real reason we all came together
For on that cold night, the 25th of December
Wise men and shepherds went to witness Christ’s birth
He was born and fulfilled His mission on earth
Hope you all had a good Christmas!
Happy New Year!
