Merry Christmas!
My wife and I had agreed to not have a tree today,
And we had already given each other gifts anyway,
I woke up this morning knowing there was no tree,
But I found one Gift on the table, and it was for me.
But it’s only 4 am, therefore I will wait until sunrise,
Then my wife can watch me open the only surprise
I doubt that Walmart is open on Christmas day.
Maybe I’ll go get her one at the truck stop anyway!
I will tell you the rest of the story tomorrow, if I’m able,
If it was Santa or my wife that left my gift on the table.
But I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas anyway,
And don’t forget the real reason we celebrate it today.
