T’WAS THE NITE BEFORE CHRISTMAS “CLAYMATE” STYLE!
By: annie


T’was the nite before Christmas and all through the place
Sixteen Claymates decorated their tree with ribbons and lace.
Hanging their stockings by the fire with care,
Wishing that Santa would soon be there.

By the fire they sat all giggly with delight
Making their lists and checking them twice.
To place in their stockings for Santa to see,
Hoping the one present they wanted would be under their tree.

Patti was dancing while Gay & Pat made cider.
Nancy was laughing with Anne & Gayle beside her.
Debbie & Arlene were cooking up some snacks,
While Annie & Stephanie hung cards with red tacks.

Cee Cee played “All Is Well” for all to enjoy,
Diane & Christine were jumping with joy.
Claudia & Evelyn wrapped presents all day,
While Jackie set up a game for them to later play.

When all of a sudden they heard noise on the roof,
They just knew it was Santa but they had no proof.
So they scattered all over to find a place to hide,
Then ran behind the sofa very tightly, side by side.

From the top of the sofa all sixteen peeked to see
Santa putting some presents under their tree.
They tried to be quiet and not make a sound,
So Santa wouldn’t know that they were around.

Their eyes opened wide as they heard Santa singing,
That voice was familiar, like Christmas bells ringing.
As the ladies looked closer, they were all quite taken.
Could it be, could it be? Omgosh, it’s Clay Aiken!!!

Their Christmas wish was answered it’s plain to see.
The one present they all wanted was Clay under their tree!
The Claymates would like to say to all with delight,
Merry Christmas to all, and to all one “HELL OF A GOOD NIGHT!!!”


MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE LOUISIANA CLAYMATES!
