Merry Christmas Grandma
By: Simone Nabors
For as long as I can remember
We’ve spent Christmas Eve at your house
Reading “The Night Before Christmas”
Being afraid of the mouse
I’d stay up all night
Watching “The Christmas Story”
Until finally the sun would rise
And I could bask in my glory
We’d rush down the stairs
Without even a thought of eating
Our footsteps so quick
You’d think we were late for a meeting
Sydney, Josh, and I
Would take turns playing St. Nick
Passing our everyone’s gifts
But we made it quite quick
While we were all fooling around
You’d sneak up the stairs
After all, you would say
“Breakfast must be prepared”
Out of all of the smells
The one I remember most was the bacon
If they weren’t up yet
My taste buds were surely awakened
Christmas is a special time
To cherish all, this is true
But I wanted to personally say
“Merry Christmas” to you
