A Christmas Story-Daniel & Mrs.Vess style

Christmas at Green ‘n’ Effingham
by Lacey Vess ©2008

Daniel and Mrs. Vess are we,
Living Here at Green ‘n’ Effingham we be!
And Christmas this year, for us, may seem…
quite backwards, compared to what we used to dream…

For you see, the differences of Back home and Here
Are that of the weather and the atmosphere!
For Back home, the altitude of about sixty two hundred or so, we’d be…
But Here, Daniel and I live at a level-Below the sea!

So come one, come all and rejoice with us this Holiday Season,
For, OH! How happy are we! And for many, a good reason…
'though the songs be the same that we Sing,
Come see the differences, Christmas Back home and Here, will bring…

From Angels in the Snow to Angels in the Sand…
OH! How we love this beautiful land!

From Snowballs to wet Sand Balls…
Snow Forts to Sand Castles and Igloos to Umbrellas…
Do you know what this means for us, huh?!? Do ya fella’s???

From Snowsuits and Scarf’s to Shorts and a T-shirt…
Layers of socks and thick Snow boots to flip flops or even our bare feet!!
OH! But for us, this is such a treat!!

From toboggans and sleds to beach towels and boogie boards!
From a cold heavy snow to a light warm rain…
OH! How I’d love to come back Here again and again!!

Though, Daniel on the other hand, may seem hard to convince…
That if his Station Here, should remain, it would be a dream!

*Wishing a MeRrY, mErRy ChRiStMaS to EvErYoNe!!!
Hope ya'll have a wonderful holiday...and a HaPpY NeW yEaR tOo!!!
Keep Smilin'!!! Life's Gr8!!!
