12 Days of Christmas

May you somehow find joy and peace during these rushed, hectic year-end shopping and work-frenzied days. I, too, hope to find some nice quiet space somewhere during these holidays. I want to curl up cozy and read a good book with a peppermint mocha latte. Here's my December 2010, so far, as we prepare for Christmas. 

Twelve Days of Christmas in the Kerner Family
by Sermsee Kerner

On the first day of Christmas in the Kerner family
I conjured dreams of how it ought to be.

On the second day of Christmas in the Kerner family
No time for shopping,
But, I conjured dreams of how it ought to be.

On the third day of Christmas in the Kerner family
Had to work late, no time for shopping,
But, I conjured dreams of how it ought to be.

On the fourth day of Christmas in the Kerner family
Thought of baking cookies, had to work late, no time for shopping,
But, I conjured dreams of how it ought to be.

On the fifth day of Christmas in the Kerner family
Kurt fractured his wrist!
Thought of baking cookies, had to work late, no time for shopping,
But, I conjured dreams of how it ought to be.

On the sixth day of Christmas in the Kerner family
Washed all the laundry
Kurt fractured his wrist!
Thought of baking cookies, had to work late, no time for shopping,
But, I conjured dreams of how it ought to be.

On the seventh day of Christmas in the Kerner family
Bought gifts for my clients, washed all the laundry
Kurt fractured his wrist!
Thought of baking cookies, had to work late, no time for shopping,
But, I conjured dreams of how it ought to be.

On the eighth day of Christmas in the Kerner family
Ran to get a tree, bought gifts for my clients, washed all the laundry
Kurt fractured his wrist!
Thought of baking cookies, had to work late, no time for shopping,
But, I conjured dreams of how it ought to be.

On the ninth day of Christmas in the Kerner family
Put up outdoor lights, ran to get a tree, bought gifts for my clients, washed all the laundry
Kurt fractured his wrist!
Thought of baking cookies, had to work late, no time for shopping,
But, I conjured dreams of how it ought to be.

On the tenth day of Christmas in the Kerner family
Paid all the bills, put up outdoor lights, ran to get a tree, bought gifts for my clients, washed all the laundry
Kurt fractured his wrist!
Thought of baking cookies, had to work late, no time for shopping,
But, I conjured dreams of how it ought to be.

On the eleventh day of Christmas in the Kerner family
Finally got to Cosco, paid all the bills, put up outdoor lights, ran to get a tree, bought gifts for my clients, washed all the laundry
Kurt fractured his wrist!
Thought of baking cookies, had to work late, no time for shopping,
But, I conjured dreams of how it ought to be.

On the twelfth day of Christmas in the Kerner family
Rushed to the airport, finally got to Cosco, paid all the bills, put up outdoor lights, ran to get a tree, bought gifts for my clients, washed all the laundry
Kurt fractured his wrist!
Thought of baking cookies, had to work late, no time for shopping,
But, I conjured dreams of how it ought to be.


Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
