An OC Christmas, PH Style!

Many ladies on my site, Prairie Homemaker, use Organized Christmas to get ready for the holidays.
I try too but it seems my home is so tiny, half the rooms on the list i do not have!
Any way my friend Helen, Gramea to PHers created this poem for us. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!



An OC Christmas PH Style!
Twas the 1st of October and all across the land
PH'ers were scurrying, pen and paper in hand
The lists they were made with infinite care
In hopes that each could make the tastiest fare

The children were nestled all snug in their beds lulled by the sounds of mom baking bread
And Mel in her kerchief and MJ in his cap had just settled down for a long winter's nap

When from the computer there arose such a clatter
they sprang from their bed to see what was the matter
Out of bed they both flew like a flash
Mel first checking the safety of her coupon stash!

The room is was bathed in the monitor's glow
and how it came on why we'll never know
And to our amazement on the screen did appear
A group of PH'ers from here and from there

With smiles on their faces and hair full of snow
somehow we knew they were there for a show
More rapid than eagles their coursers they came
as they whistled and shouted and called out some names

Now Laura,now Jalene,now Jessica too
On Grace, on Kristen,all our other sisters too
From the front of the porch to the very last wall,
now clean away, cook away,craft away all!!!

As dust before the wild broom it would fall
PH'ers buckled down and gave it their all
So round their houses these wonder women went
Scrubbing, polishing and dusting each vent

And then in a twinkling a knock at the door
and I though to myself "Oh no there are more!"
I left the window and went to the parlor
where PH ladies entered with a hoot and a holler

Some were in dresses with covers on their heads,some came in pj's they'd just left their beds
And they all carried bags stuffed full of their tricks!

Their eyes how they twinkled,their dimples how merry
While each one munched a chocolate covered cherry
These women were all cheerful,each wore a grin
An outward sign showing of God's love within

Treasures from these bags they held tight to their chest
Each one it seemed had given their best
Oma's fresh bread and Chigger's peach jam
It seemd Gina brought a home grown ham

Some thin some not so much right jolly 'er young elves
and I laughed when I saw them in spite of myself
A wink of their eye and a twist of their head
Soon gave me to learn I had nothing to dread

They chatted a bit then got right down to work
15's rest were their perk
Knowing they were finished by eyes, ears, and nose
and giving all hugs up the chimney they rose

They rushed to their seats and each gave a whistle
and away they all flew like the down of a thistle
Driving away clutching a now empty sack
Tey shouted
Happy OC CHRISTmas!! And to all "We'll be back!"
