was created especially for
Foster Lee Robinson
at the age of 1
With Love From
Mom & Dad
Christmas 2003
-----Story Content
Each printed page is
followed by a full-color
picture page...
'Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the house,
not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse.
-----
Foster in his nightshirt
settled into bed, while visions of
Tonka trucks danced in his head.
-----
You've heard this before,
this story's not new.
I've added a twist,
your name's in here too.
-----
I'm jolly and round
and I wear a red suit,
I visit each home with a
sled filled with loot.
-----
And what is this loot
that I bring in my sled?
Simply toys, like dolls,
and balls that are red.
There are clothes and shoes
and candy canes pink,
and then there's some coal
for the bad kids, I think.
-----
Some say that I'm Santa,
some say I'm a fad,
some folks even say
I look just like your dad.
-----
But one thing's for certain
on this special night,
the world stops its churning
and pushing its might.
-----
The smokestacks are turned off,
the workers go home,
machines become silent
from Worcester to Rome.
-----
Up in the sky,
late at night there's a glow,
where a special star twinkled
many years ago.
-----
Peace and goodwill
fill our hearts from the light.
Mary gave birth
to Baby Jesus that night.
-----
Wise men brought gifts,
they came from afar,
they found their way there,
they followed the star.
The rest of the story is told in a book
called the Bible, it's great,
one day take a look.
-----
Now onward and upward
I'll sail through the night.
I'm still the tradition
of what's good and what's right.
-----
And because you'll get presents,
I know Christmas day
will not be forgotten
as you laugh and you play.
But remember the reason
for peace and great joy,
it comes from our Christ,
and not just from a toy.
-----
So, Foster, hang your stockings
by the chimney with care,
don't worry about me,
I'll still be there.
-----
I'll munch on the snacks,
drink the milk that you leave,
I do it each year
the same time, Christmas Eve.
-----
My reindeer are ready,
the time is just right.
Go to sleep now, Foster,
Merry Christmas,
Good Night!
