T’was the Night Before Christmas

December 25, 2013 Posted by Liette Wilson 2 Comments

Twas the Night Before Christmas at HATS!

Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the HATS house,
not a creature was stirring,
not even a cockroach
(did someone say cockroach, Karen is coming with the bug spray!)
Outside, the churchgoers are singing,
their hands in the air,
in the hopes that Baby Jesus
soon will be there.
The drums are a beating,
the dancers are swaying,
the party is swinging as
Christmas rings in.
The goats are a bleating,
the dogs are a barking
and roosters are crowing
for Christmas this year.
The HATS kids are all tucked
in their beds fast asleep,
while visions of rice and beans
dance in their sleep.
While I in my pj’s
finish the blog,
I think “Oh how I wish
I could just see a frog”.
While you imagine that sight,
I say Merry Christmas to all
and to all a good night!

Enjoy the lovely photos of some of the children opening their Christmas gifts – everyone was happy and thrilled with what they received. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
