Almost ready to leave!

Twas the day before leaving for Christmas
And all through the house
Parents scurried around
Like a mad, panicked mouse
Rob packed up the truck
As the cold rain fell down
The twins first Christmas
Instead of white may be brown
Inside Nancy gathered up
Thing after thing
There was nothing it seemed
They did not need to bring
At least Brendan's at school
And not " helping out "
Tonight's his school concert
Where he'll sing, dance and shout
"Its not going to fit"
Yelled rob from the truck
Nancy saw he was right and
Responded ... " good luck "
(Family version here folks)
But a few small adjustments
Made everything right
So safe travels to all
And to all a good night!

With apologies to Clement C Moore
