What Christmas Means To My Family

Ruechari was having something to eat.

When Josie ran in and pulled her to her feet.

"Please come quick, Rue! I need you!"

Josie began to drag Rue towards the stairs,

"Josie what's wrong? We're going where?"


"Please Rue, just follow me and you'll see!"


"Is Jacob alright? He hasn't been drinking again tonight?"

With Jacob and his love of the drink, 

it wouldn't be too far a stretch to think,

Did he injure himself with drunken shenanigans?

Rue couldn't help but think here we go again.


Josie pulled her along with haste, keeping a frown on her face.

Ruechari's heart picked up its pace.

Oh Jacob what have you done now?

Rue asked herself with a scowl.


The way Josie burst through their room door, and Rue expected to see blood and gore

But instead the room looked different all right, but it wasn't her expected sight.

Jacob was beaming as he sat on the bed, wearing a sweater of red.

A guitar in his lap. Rue stood a bit taken aback.


Red ribbons and strings of popping corn, did adorn the walls.

Wreaths of pine, cookies and milk near the fire to dine.

Candles lit around room.

Candles lit around room
