and all through the house
not a creature was stirring
(mainly because they'd been drinking heavily all day, but what the hell- I need the corks)
not even a mouse
the stockings were hung
by the chimney with care
(well, slippers actually and I bought mine a couple sizes too big, choosing to wear really thick socks with them and a couple packets of that stuff marked "do not eat" and maybe some bubble wrap rather than pass up a deal on the size 9's)
in hopes that St. Nicholas
soon would be there ...
Merry Christmas - I hope everyone has the best Christmas ever - I've sneaked a peak at some of my gifts and think I will!
(well, except for the year I got the crimper AND the salad spinner, that would be a little hard to beat)
