I thought I would share Brian's poem on here because it is so funny!
AN ODE TO HULSE CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS
(If you weren’t a part of it… you probably won’t appreciate this Ode)
When it all started is anyone’s guess,
We suspect Ted and Sherry know more or less,
About the “Traditions” that this fine Household keeps
(We’re talkin’ about Christmas, not Easter and Peeps).
From Snow in the back yard where you dare not tread
Lest your footprints be the ones to upset dear Ol’ Ted;
To the bright Red Stockings all exactly the same
(Except that is for the stitched, cursive name).
Do you recall the small Santa all cracked and old?
It’s now in
Lebkuken and Pinwheels, Bread with chocolate and cherry
Who made all these goodies? Why our favorite elf – Sherry!
And who could forget the old bed made of feather?
It kept us all warm through the fowl Christmas weather.
The holiday card games with Hadlows and Giles,
Those were times that we remember with smiles.
How many times did you search the night sky
To see if the elves with your burned letter did fly?
To tell dear Santa of the things you were wanting,
But then on Christmas morn finding garments in your stocking!
Wassail spray from
How we would all gather for our annual “spray and a smell.”
Kentucky Fried Chicken as we decorated the tree,
And the antique birds we all longed to see.
Do you remember how into the attics we’d crawl?
To find decorations, lead icicles and all.
And perhaps your memory will work if you strain,
To remember the spot light with red cellophane.
Climbing into Ted’s bed when the hour was too early,
The threat of St. Annes if you didn’t stop acting squirrely.
Reader’s Digest Christmas album with fine artists you know,
“You have got no snow?! Down in
Ah the traditions we have in this house are so clever,
We hope they’ll continue in our families forever.
We hope you enjoyed our Hulse Christmas Rhyme
And we wish you the best at this
