Morrell's 2nd Annual Christmas Party

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house 

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; 

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, 

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; 

When out in the living room there was a great noise 

Elvis was standing there, grinning with poise 

And the next thing you know, the crowd filtered in 

Laughing in merriment, asking, "How have you been?" 

Soon enough, Friends and Family find their places 

Geneva makes sure they have their quiet faces 

Quiet filled the room, and our attention drew 

To Miss K, our director, telling us what to do

 

Sisters, friends, solos and duets

Worship and Praise, on the heart besets

So ends the marvelous singing and the heartfelt reading

(Acquire from O-San a recording, with very little pleading) 

 

Joy, Love, Worship and Awe in our hearts increased

It is time for the next part, a wondrous feast!

Tony and Margie, our gracious hosts, did not skimp

For the buffet was immense and varied, there was even shrimp!

Sarah was there smiling away the hours

If you look close, you can see her by the flowers

Peals of laughter, giggling and cheer

My true loves and others you could hear

Molly and Phil, and many others were here

Filling the rooms with the Christmas Cheer

But none were so bright

As Kaitlyn under the light!

Brothers and sisters around the Christmas tree

Enjoying one another lovingly and kindly

Side splitting laughter in the day

With a great big dose of Reay

Twins without twins and someone in the middle

With this rhyme, I will fiddle

Sweets, carrot cake and deserts

We try not to get any on our shirts

No more singing, fellowship or gospel

Not even any more pineapple

On this Earth, all good things come to an end

Raise your hand if you want to do this again!

Years are full and busy, always quite serried

Perhaps next year we will be.... less tarried?

 

With that I leave you one final delight

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good-night
