‘Twas the night before Christmas when all through the yard
The trucks were still purring though the economy was falling hard.
The dump truck was lined behind the back hoe and dozer
We looked and we looked but could not find the loader.
The loader was lying beside his sweet head.
The wood trains were loaded in the equipments big cup
It waited for orders to put the toys up.
The child was dreaming of trucks galore
Hoping Santa would bring trucks with trailers and more
The puppies and Bob (the builder) were put in there place
We were making more room to put more toys in this space.
The “boys” were in bed and mom was getting quite tired
Putting Christmas together she had almost expired.
This year she had done it yet again without fail
But perhaps doing it all kept her from sending out mail. 
This poem could go one quite a while we know
I was thinking, however, it should come with the snow
With that in mind we will end this poetic delight.
Saying Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
All has been well with us this year. To be brief I will give you the year’s updates…

Cute letter! Very creative and fun to read and recap your year! Wow thanks for all the comments by the way! It made me feel special to see 5 comments all from you! Especially since it's 1am and I couldn't sleep...so it helped me to take my mind off of being ticked about not being able to sleep!
