Christmas 1995-A Late Report

Written April 1995, a fun look back at Christmas with four of my grandkids...via a belated thank you note:

'Tis months after Christmas,

A new year has begun.

Many thanks to dear friends,

For food, for toys, and fun.

Topher reminds Morgan,

"The building set is mine!"

So she looks for her dolly,

Zach drops it just in time.

Jessie got a baby,

Kid was hungry from the start.

With Sears lifetime voltage,

Doll's sucking by the quart.

When Zach talked to Santa,

Just before Christmas Eve,

He made sure to tell him,

"A  BIG  truck for me, please."

Our friends--Santa's helpers,

Brought the truck Zach asked for,

Jessica has claimed it!

Rides--she, dollies and more.

Morgan loves her dolly,

With outfits toe to head,

Jessie dropped her baby,

Pulled 'til she got doll's leg!

Poor, poor Morgan's dolly,

She's disadvantaged, blue,

Jessie's got her right leg,

But Morgan has her shoes!

Wayne brought Toph a football,

Kids played, 10--15--hike,

Pass wide, Jess intercepts,

Nerf sandwich, three BIG bites!

Foam was her appetizer,

We loved Black Forest ham!

And dined on Lucky Charms,

Bread, peanut butter, jam!

Etiquette rules I've broken,

"Thank you" is way past due.

You made our season brighter,

South hugs to all of you.
