The Tale of Cramp-mas

This Book is dedicated to Wendy Joy Thank you for making every Christmas special even Amidst Hardships You put the magic in all the little details and I Wish I could replay every moment Last but definitely not Least thank you for always keeping the true meaning of Christmas so evident and always reminding us who is the Real reason for season Love you 1 million swedish fish Let me tell you a tale of a snuggly Christmas Day It wasn't what they thought it'd be but the day came anyway When you have a big family you have a big home Or at least you would think they would have space to roam But unlike the old lady that lived in the shoe This mother knew better about what to do She prayed and did all the things that were tough To make holidays special even if they were rough So they crammed into corners and couches throughout And that my dear children is how "CRAMP-MAS" came about She cooked and she cleaned day after day Yet cared for an army with the dinner she made And something you might have a hard time believin' She cooked a whole feast in a small toaster oven! You might find this crazy and quite silly at best Or even find humor how this season did test But this mother of many with doors open to all Had such a big heart for a kitchen so small Cramp-mas wouldn't be fitting for a home that was grand That was still yet to come it was a work in God's hands They awoke in the morning to find a swell had emerged And the mother was laughing with joy as she urged "Open your stockings! But please take your time" She wanted to watch as surprise filled their eyes They opened their stockings but before losing control She said "Let's take a break and eat fresh cinnamon rolls!" I must wrap up this story I have much wrapping to do But there is still one thing that I need to tell you There is more to this family than a cramped home filled with cheer It's their love for each otherand the God they hold dear So this year remember before you are gone God sent His son for the world He was born So you may think Cramp-mas is nothing too special But even our Savior spent his first Christmas In a cramped humble manger
