I'm the Poet. And Yep, I Know it!

Twas the days before Christmas, and all through the town
not an Ingy was resting, too busy jumping up and down.
The skis were swooshing down the mountain with care,
much easier than snowboarding since they're a pair.


JR was nestled all snug in his coat,
as his snowmobile glided just like a boat.
With Jason at the wheel, he finally gave in
and let JR drive, now that's a big grin!

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
It was each one of the grandparents. Whew! That's a lot of chatter!
We loaded the car and headed on out.
It was -1 so we bustled about.


Waiting at the train station for our next ride,
The Polar Express we took mountain side.
When what to our wondering eyes should appear?
The North Pole! It was there, we could see it so clear.

He wore a big white beard and a bright red suit,
and then I saw those shiny black boots.
Of course, since this is Durango, he was also quite trim.
Could there be any doubt? It's Santa! I know him!




There were plenty of presents, lots of things to unwrap.
And so much food I really need to go run a few laps.
The kids were excited, in total Christmas bliss.
In fact, the whole time they just looked like this:

JoAnn, The lefse was great! Jason and I were laughing that Gary and Sherry were the ones talking about the snow and cold more than all the Texans!
