It’s a stupid poem. Bear with me. It’s not long. I don’t have the patience.
It’s two days before Christmas, and I’m sipping eggnog
And penning this holiday post for my blog.
Okay, I confess, that first part is not true.
The thought of eggnog makes this chick want to spew.
.
The kids are up early and sharing their joys
Which really translates to a whole lot of noise.
I struggle to write this. I’m drawing a blank.
But I do have a list of great bloggers to thank.
.
If you’re wishing to give a great novel this year,
There’s a sweet gifting guide if you check over here.
If a giggle’s required to lighten your mood,
Read this post ’bout a girl who’s really a dude!
.
If some sneaky kid is eating your tree,
Then this is the post that you simply must see.
And when you’re all comfy and don’t want to move
Perhaps your sweet someone will do this for you.
.
Another sweet post spreading holiday cheer
And good news that we don’t have to shop for next year.
Here’s one to read if you’ve childhood scars,
And this if your holiday wrapping’s sub par.
.
I know there are more great blogs that I read,
But I can’t list them all, for this poor blogger needs
To get out of the house and do something soon
Or I’ll be launching this whole lot of kids to the moon.
.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
May the new year bring us all something to write.
And if spending your cash leaves you feeling quite hollow,
Remember, the best gift for a blogger’s a “follow.”

Haha! That’s the best way I’ve seen to link to blogs yet. Awesome
Also, cute kids… I can see how that would get noisy.

Thanks for including my post, and for all of the other ones. The only one I had already seen was The Middlest Sister. Love the present-wrapping one, especially the part about curling the ribbons!

A favorite blogger of mine she’s become

Okay, so I’m a little late for this one… You’ll have to excuse me, because I’ve been hiding under a comforter for the last week waiting for Christmas to be over. But now that it’s safe to come out, I can say that this is a cool gift of a poem, and thanks for all the links to more funny stuff to read and enjoy. Wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year!
