From One Holiday to the Next

'Twas the weekend after Thanksgiving

And all through the house,

Elliot was talking about 'cwrissmiss yites'

and visiting Mickey Mouse.

The weather was sunny and calm;

Fred hung up the lights.

With lights on our house,

You can imagine Elliot's delight.

Inside we went when the night went dark

And in the morning rose to see

Another day that would prove to be perfect

For erecting the Christmas Tree.

Elliot jumped and Elliot screamed;

He even did a happy dance.

Ran circles around the tree -

I think he almost peed his pants.

Decorations went up with Elliot's help -

On bells, on garland and candy canes too

All hung at eye-level...

Except for a few.

With Christmas music on,

And the light's soft glow...

The only thing we're missing

Is some good Nebraska Snow.
