This book was made for Jessica Smith
age 3,
Love,
Mom and Dad

'Twas the Night Before Christmas
and all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring
not even a mouse

Jessica in her jammies settled into bed
while visions of dollies danced in her head.

You've heard this before, the story's not new,
But I've added a twist, your name's in here, too!

I'm jolly, I'm round and I wear a red suit
I visit each home, in a sled filled with loot

And what is this loot that I bring in my sled?
simply toys, like dolls and balls that are red.
There are clothes and shoes and candy canes pink,
and then there's some coal, for the bad kids I think!

I come late at night once you’re fast asleep.
I fill up your stockings with toys you can keep!

As I fly through the sky on this special night
the world stops its churning, and pushing its might.

The smokestacks are turned off, the workers go home,
machines become silent, from Atlanta to Rome.

Up in the sky, late at night there's a glow,
Where a special star twinkled many years ago.

Peace and goodwill fill our hearts from the light,
Mary gave birth to Baby Jesus that night.

Wise men brought gifts, they came from afar,
they found their way there, they followed the star.
The rest of the story is told in a book,
called the Bible, it's great, one day take a look.

Now onward and upward, I'll fly through the night
I'm still the tradition of what's good and what's right

And because you'll get presents, I know Christmas Day
will not be forgotten, as you laugh and play
But remember the reason for peace and great joy,
It comes from our Christ, not just from a toy.

So, Jessica, hang your stockings by the chimney with care,
don't worry about me, I'll still be there.

I’ll munch on the snacks, drink the milk that you leave,
I do it each year, the same time Christmas Eve.

My Reindeer are ready, the time is just right,
Go to sleep nowm Jessica, Merry Christmas, good night.
