A Parent's Night Before Christmas
Author Unknown

Twas the night before Christmas
when all through the house
I searched for the tools
to hand to my spouse

Instructions were studied
and we were inspired,
in hopes we could manage
"Some Assembly Required."

The children were quiet
(not asleep) in their beds,
while Dad and I faced
the evening with dread:
a kitchen, two bikes, Barbie's townhouse to boot!
And now, thanks to Grandpa, a train with a toot!

We opened the boxes,
my heart skipped a beat -
let no parts be missing or
parts incomplete!

"Too late for last-minute returns or replacement;
if we can't get it right,
it goes straight to the basement!
When what to my worrying eyes should appear
but 50 sheets of directions, concise, but not clear,
With each part numbered and every slot named,
so if we failed, only we could be blamed.

More rapid than eagles the parts then fell out,
all over the carpet they were scattered about.
"Now bolt it! Now twist it! Attach it right there!
Slide on the seats, and staple the stair!
Hammer the shelves, and nail to the stand."
"Honey," said hubby, "you just glued my hand."

And then in a twinkling, I knew for a fact
that all the toy dealers had indeed made a pact
to keep parents busy all Christmas Eve night
with "assembly required" till morning's first light
We spoke not a word, but kept bent at our work,
till our eyes, they went bleary; our fingers all hurt.
The coffee went cold and the night, it wore thin
before we attached the last rod and last pin.

Then laying the tools away in the chest,
we fell into bed for a well-deserved rest.
But I said to my husband just before I passed out,
"This will be the best Christmas,
without any doubt.
Tomorrow we'll cheer,
let the holiday ring,
and not run to the store for one single thing!
We did it! We did it!
The toys are all set
for the perfect, most magical, Christmas, I bet!"

Then off to dreamland and sweet repose
I'm grateful went, though I suppose
there's something to say for those self-deluded-
I'd forgotten that BATTERIES are never included!

The boy walks her to the place.

- Boy:
Ok...let me take the blind fold off.

- Girl:

He takes it off her and she opens her eyes and sees the view of the city and at that same spot...that's where he first asked her to be his girlfriend....

- Girl:
Omg...(tears come down)

- Boy:
Why are you crying?

- Girl:
This is where you first asked me out...

- Boy:
What are you doing the rest of your life? (he asked on his knees and after he says that...behind him...in the air it says "Will you marry me?" in fireworks)

- Girl:

- Boy:

- Boy:

I wish i had a guy like this!!

B/c hes a jerk and you can do better!!!!

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year olds. "What does love mean?"

The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined.

1. When my grandma got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandpa does it for her now all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love. Rebecca- age 8

2. When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouths. Billy- age 4

3. Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving Cologne and they go out and smell each other. Kari- age 5

4. Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your french fries without making them give you any of theirs. Chrissy- age 6

5. Love is what makes you smile when you're tired. Terri- age 4

6. Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK. Danny- age 7

7. Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My mommy and my daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss. Emily- age 8

8. Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen. Bobby- age 7

9. If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate. Nikka- age 6

10. Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday. Noelle- age 7

11. Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well. Tommy- age 6

12. During my piano recital, I was on stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore. Cindy- age 8

13. My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night. Clare- age 6

14 Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken. Elaine-age 5

15. Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford. Chris- age 7

16. Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day. Mary Ann- age 4

17. When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you. Karen- age 7

18. Love is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet and doesn't think it's gross. Mark- age 6

19. You really shouldn't say I LOVE YOU unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget. Jessica- age 8

20. Love, love is when my nany cleans up my puke after i've gotten sick. EVEN WHEN IT'S COME OUT MY NOSE! and then she sits with me till I'm a sleep. That's love! Carmon-age5

21. And the winner was a 4 year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly man who had just lost his wife. When the child saw the man cry, the little boy went over into the man's yard and climbed on top of the man's lap and just sat there. When the boy's mother asked him what he'd said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."
