As many of you know, we have a family tradition of an annual holiday baking day. We are excited to be planning this year’s baking day which will take place in just two weeks. This year has gone so fast! Let the holidays begin!
THE NIGHT BEFORE BAKING DAY
The night before baking day
And all through Momma’s house
The anticipation of tomorrow
Even excited her spouse!

Elf aprons are hung
In the closet with care
To remove all the wrinkles
From our festive fun wear.

Recipes have been collected
Ingredients too
Flour, sugar, and spices
Not much left to do.

This joyous occasion
Is an annual event
Of holiday baking
Family time is well spent.

Holiday songs will be sung
While moving our feet
To Santa Claus is Coming
And that boogie woogie beat.


The elves are my girls
My daughters and grands
Adorned in their aprons
And festive headbands.

Come Zara Belle and Holly
Jangle and Sugar Plum too
Poppy and Cocoa and Tinsel
And, of course, Snickerdoo!

Come little boys wee,
And Grandpa and Glitter
With dads and with uncles
We don’t need a sitter!

The smell of our gingersnaps
As they bake in the oven
Will soon fill this house
They are made by the dozens.

Peppermint Patties and Buckeyes
Fudge and Oreo Balls too
Are a few of sweets made
Over the last decade, or two.

My sweet little elves
Sleep well tonight
Tomorrow this house
Will be filled with delight.

♥️ Momma Glitter
PS Santa Claus is Coming by The Tractors. What a fun song!
“D” needs an elf name too. I think Dasher will do.
