"Preparations for Christmas"

Christmas at my house is huge event

my mom needed the house sparkling clean before she was content

that meant cleaning my room several times

she often came in yelling that I missed a spot like it was a crime

An enormous amount of cooking had to be done

The only way I could help was to make a quick Shoprite run

Me and my sister tried to make cookies

They turned out great although we were rookies

Over thirty of our family members were coming

hopefully we would not ruin the plumbing

the presents under the tree overflowed 

my little cousins saw it and their faces glowed

The perfect christmas was complete when it snowed

It wasn't a lot, but it was enough to cover the road

Altogether christmas was a success 

Even my bitter old grandma looked impressed
