Christmas Eve

'Twas the night before Christmas,
I was here with my spouse;
Our daughters had joined us
For our visit with the Mouse.

We had golfed, we had shopped,
We had eaten on a plan;
We had seen trees decorated
As only Mickey can.

Our stockings were at home
Would Santa know we were here?
Would he wonder what had happened
To the Davidsons this year?

We didn't have to wonder
The right answer we knew;
He would never forget
Steve, Mari, Molly, and Lu.

This Christmas was different
We weren't at our house;
But Santa knew those families
Who spent Christmas with the Mouse.

From Kingdom to Kingdom,
To Studios to Epcot,
Santa visited them all
The whole entire lot.

And at the end of the night,
Santa went for a ride,
Extra Magic Hours were open,
All the coasters he tried.

As he dropped from the Tower
And ate his Mickey Bar,
He finally left the last park
And got in his reindeer car.

And we heard him exclaim
As he rode up above;
"Christmas is always Christmas
When you're with those you love!"
