A very good friend of mine wrote this and wants me to share it with you all. Enjoy!


T’was the night before Christmas and along with the house
The senate was playing the game cat and mouse
It seemed that they had made their own plan
To wrap up a package to change our great land

And tell us for Christmas we’re getting a gift
Ignoring our Town Halls and promptly dismiss
The fact that we begged them to hear as we cried
“Give us our country, give us our pride”

But behind closed doors they brokered a deal
And not for a second considered our will
Forgetting those that will pay a price
Generations to come who will sacrifice

But the clock is ticking and they’re in a rush
Our lives are changing as they push and fuss
Yet amid all the chatter, the bickering and yells
No one could hear the jingling bells

Santa was wide-eyed and shocked when he saw
Our Nation divided, ‘cause divided we fall
Even the reindeer hung their head in remorse
Breaking their speed but staying on course

While Santa decided just what he should do
‘Cause the night before Christmas was wrecked by this crew
He had to think fast, his mind in a spin
Then like a flash, it came to him

That he had one option and it was a gift
It seemed to be empty. . . but listen to this
It was filled to the brim with our last ray of hope
An emergency present. . . a lifesaving rope

In it, a prayer to the King who was born
That He once again would speak peace to the storm
With a fling of his arm and a kick of his knee
The gift was aimed and tossed on D.C.

But so busy voting that nobody knows
Of the tears that were flowing off poor Santa’s nose
Breathing this prayer for us while in flight
“Have mercy on Christmas and to all a good night”
