I hope everyone is all settled in and home for the holidays! Here's a little card and my lit version of the night before Christmas...a day early. If Christmas isn't your thing, I totally understand and wish you a season's greetings just the same.

Twas the night before Christmas
when all through Lit
Not a poster was posting,
not even a bit.
Their comments were done
and all neatly posted,
As their families all gathered;
some even toasted.
I was about to sign out;
giving the mouse a good tap
The playground was quiet…
it was time for a nap.
When there on the desk…
arose such a clatter
I spun around in my chair,
to see what’s the matter.
Up to the monitor
I reached in a hurry
It started to glow
though my eyes were still blurry
My face was all covered
with the screen’s eerie glow
The keyboard was fumbled
in the darkness below.
It didn’t take long
for the words to appear
They came from a distance
yet they seemed very near
The message was warm
as I gave a big smile
I read every word…
even stared for a while.
For the message was clear
and very well said
The spirit of Christmas
will never be dead!
It made me remember
just what friendship is,
so I typed a reply
that was off in a whiz.
It makes no difference
if we’re all far away,
If we honor our friendships
and Christmas this day.
So, before I log off
and turn out the light,
Merry Christmas to all,
and to all a good night!
