Christmas Poem

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011
 

‘Twas the week before Christmas

And all through the house

All the creatures are stiring, including the mouse

All the stockings were being hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that soon there would be gifts in there. 

Ma in her apron and I in my cap were hustling and bustling without any fun,  wracking our brains for what could be done.  Toys wouldn’t do, no we needed something more, something inspiring to help them remember the truths we cherish in the month of December. 

Away to the door I flew like a flash,  “We’ll go to the bookstore, we really must dash! They will help us, I know with gifts for our list.  For neighbors and friends, hometeachers, I know, this list is long, we really must go!” 

The Brass Plates is the place were we can feel safe in giving our gifts, things that won’t chafe.  Inspiring movies and music on disc, calendars, and watches that say “CTR”, art, and books by Elder Bednar!  We will get it all done, I know that it’s true, those ladies in there know just what to do. 

Now dash away, dash away, dash away all, we’ll get in the car, but NOT to the mall.  We’ll hurry in for the greatest selecion, (and maybe some help for gifts without detection.)

 

Laman and Lemuel, Nephi and more, stocking stuffers you can only find at our little store.  Gifts for the little ones, our teenagers too, to help them remember what Christmas is for.  The birth of our Savior so lovely and dear, a gift from our Father, who sent Him here.  So grateful, we are, for this precious gift, to celebrate without Him, would leave us remiss. 

Mention this poem on Saturday for ten percent off all novels. Valid Saturday, December 17th only. All framed art 20% off Today thru Saturday, Dec 17th. (not valid on special offer framed prints of Christ)

Merry Christmas! 

from all of us at The Brass Plates
