We would hide presents through the year <br />All around the house every where <br />That night we said, kids it’s time for bed <br />Let thoughts of Santa fill your head <br /> <br />I helped wrap gifts with my wife <br />To put happiness in our kids life <br />Under the tree went the gifts we had <br />Some from Santa, some from mom and dad <br /> <br />Christmas eve was such a joy <br />Putting together a bike or toy <br />I miss those Christmas eve nights <br />My wife, little kids and a tree with lights <br /> <br />For me now on December 24 <br />Christmas eve it’s not the same anymore<br /><br />Michael Gelb<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/christmas-eve-20/
