Do you sleep?

Do you sleep?

No, I'm on holiday! hehehe

Tbh, I was up late wrapping pressies last night so slept in late this morning. Then I cooked Christmas dinner and the other half decided he wanted Babycham with it (Ugh!) However, no-one liked their Babycham (and it seemed a shame to waste it!)

so I drank it. He he he hic! After a few glasses it started to taste okay!

But sadly I'm not normally a drinker so I had to have a snooze after dinner. How sad am I? Which is why I'm up now. (And drinking tea!

)





‘Twas the night before Christmas & out on the ranch



The pond was froze over & so was the branch.



The snow was piled up belly-deep to a mule.



The kids were all home on vacation from school,



And happier young folks you never did see-



Just all sprawled around a-watchin’ TV.



Then suddenly, some time around 8 o’clock,



There came a surprise that gave them a shock!



The power went off, the TV went dead!



When Grandpa came in from out in the shed



With an armload of wood, the house was all dark.



“Just what I expected,” they heard him remark.



“Them power line wires must be down from the snow.







Seems sorter like times on the ranch long ago.”



“I’ll hunt up some candles,” said Mom. “With their light,







And the fireplace, I reckon we’ll make out all right.”



The teen-agers all seemed enveloped in gloom.



Then Grandpa came back from a trip to his room,



Uncased his old fiddle & started to play



That old Christmas song about bells on a sleigh.



Mom started to sing, & 1st thing they knew



Both Pop & the kids were all singing it, too.



They sang Christmas carols, they sang “Holy Night,”



Their eyes all a-shine in the ruddy firelight.



They played some charades Mom recalled from her youth,



And Pop read a passage from God’s Book of Truth.



They stayed up till midnight-and, would you believe,



The youngsters agreed ’twas a fine Christmas Eve.



Grandpa rose early, some time before dawn;



And when the kids wakened, the power was on..



“The power company sure got the line repaired quick,”



Said Grandpa – & no one suspected his trick.



Last night, for the sake of some old-fashioned fun,



He had pulled the main switch – the old Son-of-a-Gun!

Sure...tea...that's what all vampires say they're drinking under the dark of night when they are awake! The crimson Earl Grey...
