Twas the day before Christmas, when all through the city,
The ornaments and decorations sure looked pretty.
The sun was out, the sky was clear,
Mommy and baby set out for places with holiday cheer.
They started at FAO Schwarz and were tempted by the toys,
The over-sized piano, the stuffed bears, oh boy.
Then department store window displays, what fun,
Each more elaborate than the previous one.
On to Rock Center to see its gargantuan tree,
My how baby would have shouted with glee!
But along the way, before the tree he did meet,
From all the hullabaloo he fell fast, fast asleep.
Do it again tomorrow, well they just might,
Happy holidays to all and to all a good night.
