The 20th of December

Its the 20th of December,
and all through the house,
a few creatures are stirring
including the computer mouse.

Our stockings are hung on the wall behind the tree,
And my girls know I'll fill them with candy and things.

We believe in Saint Nick, who lived long ago,
But I don't feel the need to teach the magical guy at the south pole.

Grace let me know, though, a few weeks ago,
"Mom, I DO believe in Santa Claus."

And I smiled and said, "Dear,
That's great. A lot of people do."

When friendly store clerks ask her,
"Who's coming to see you soon?"

I quickly interrupt with,
"Grandma Gail!"
