…and I’m busy, busy, busy being good. It’s the day before the night before Christmas, and I’m doing all the things a good kid should.
Every Christmas I sing this verse of an old old song. My kids think I’m crazy, as they’ve never heard it before. When I was a kid (decades ago), I used to have a 45 record with this song on it. I listened to it all year long; I loved it. When the kids gave me junk about it again this year, I googled it. I can’t find any evidence that this song ever existed. Maybe I really did make it up…
as an aside, I hope to finally get back to the business of blogging and reading blogs in the next few days. I will finally have time to sit here longer than the 3 minutes it has taken me to jot this down.

I found your post from years ago that you have the song on MP3….its the day before the night before christmas and you said that you would send it to the person who did a post. I was hoping you still have and could email me a copy of the song.
Thank you,

I know that song. We had it on an album. I was little and time has taken the name of that album along with most of the verse, but I remember it. It was one of my favorites.

My mom used to sing the same song. And I’m just now getting around to googling it and trying to find out if it existed. She sang it to me when I was little and I am 58 years old.
