and I'm waiting and watching with each eye, whisker and ear.
There's a tree in our den all twinkly with light,
and it's calling to me to take one little bite.
There are stockings hung carefully up in the air,
as if someone is expected soon to be there.
I wait and I wait for my girl to snooze in her fleece,
in the hope that for awhile I can enjoy some peace.
My parents won't rest, they wrap this and wrap that,
they even tried to wrap the bed where I sat.
The kitchen was humming and smells did abound
it was all I could do to not make a sound.
It all happened so quick, it went by so fast,
and before I knew it Christmas Eve had passed.
The morning saw my girl beaming with cheer,
Santa had come and brought lots of gear.
The parents were smiling, and their parents too,
and finally I realized what I already knew.
This holiday has lots of banging and clatter
but the spirit of Christmas is what really matters.
The gathering of family, the spreading of joy
is the point of this holiday, more than just toys.
The love of one's family, and friends you hold dear
is truly the meaning of real Christmas cheer.
So give warm licky kisses to loved ones whether furry, young or old
and enjoy this time while we still have them to hold.
From our den to yours, may you holiday be bright
and hold the true Christmas spirit of goodness and light!
