Ladies, this one’s for you…
'Twas the day before Christmas
Not one gift was wrapped
The house was a wreck
And Mama felt trapped!
As time slipped away
The panic ensued
The husband's choice comments
Led to a feud
Why do you stress?
It always gets done!
He said not-so-wisely
To this certain someone
If looks could kill
He'd no longer be here
Didn't he know
The big day was so near?
So she'll wrap and she'll bake
And she'll work her Mom magic
She'll get it all done
Or results will be tragic
Our husbands - they try
But it's just not the same
Clearly it's Mama
Who's running this game
Hang in there, gals
We're running on fumes
Tomorrow's the day!
Then "real life" resumes
Somehow, someway
It will all be complete
When tomorrow they wake
And jump to their feet
We love all the joy
That this special day brings
Our hard work earns us
A set of gold wings!
But let's speak the truth
This day kicks our butts
So cut us some slack
Before Mommy goes nuts
We're tired, we're beat,
Not feeling our best
And maybe we've eaten
More sweets than the rest!
Bring us some wine
Ask, "What can I do?"
That, for us girls,
Is the perfect Thank You!
When tomorrow arrives
Try to take it all in
This memory you've made
For all of your kin
For it's YOU, you're the one,
Who made it all happen
And somehow you did it
Without even crackin'!
Santa gets credit
But we know the deal
It's MOMS everywhere
Who make Christmas real
And if we could choose
We'd do it once more
Because anything goes
For the ones we adore!
So high-fives to us all
We ladies unite
Merry Christmas, my friends,
Very soon we'll sleep tight!!
