Here's my contribution to One Shot. Merry Christmas to all my One Shot friends.
Early to bed
Anticipate the dawn
No thoughts of our Saviour
Or the day he was born
Tossing and turning
No sleep to be had
Excitement is growing
Driving me mad
Peer through the curtains
Searching the sky
Hoping perchance
I'll see him fly by
Squeals of delight
He surely has been
Little sis impatient
To share what she's seen
Skip through the kitchen
Crumbs left on his plate
Gifts galore surprise me
Santa was definitely worth the wait
Love KB
