Funny, Funny Mother
See Mother, See Mother laugh. Mother is happy, Mother is happy about Christmas. Mother has many plans. Mother is organized. Mother smiles all the time. Funny, Funny Mother. See Mother. See Mother smile. Mother is happy. The shopping is all done. See the children watch TV. Watch, children Watch. See children change minds. See them ask Santa for different toys. Look, Look, Mother is not smiling. Funny, Funny Mother.
See Mother. See Mother sew. Mother will make dresses. Mother will make robes. Mother will make shirts. See Mother put the zipper in wrong. See Mother sew dress on the wrong side. See mother cut the skirt to short. See mother put the material away until January.
Look, look, see mother take a tranquilizer. Funny, Funny mother. See mother. See mother buy raisins and nuts. See mother buy candied pineapple and powered sugar. See mother buy flour and dates and pecans and brown sugar and bananas and spices and vanilla.
Look, Look. Mother is mixing everything together. See children press out cookies. See the flour on their elbows. See the cookies burn. See the cake fall. See the children pull taffy. See Mother pull her hair. See mother clean the kitchen with the garden hose. Funny, Funny mother.
See Mother. See mother wrap presents. See mother look for the end of the scotch tape roll. See mother bite her nails. See mother go. See mother go to the store 12 times in an hour. Go, mother go.
See mother go faster. Run, mother run. See mother trim the tree. See mother have a party. See mother make popcorn. See mother wash the walls. See mother scrub the rug.
See; mother tear up the organized plan. See mother forget the gift for Uncle Harold. See mother get hives. Go, mother go. See the far away look in mother’s eyes.
Mother has become disorientated. Funny, Funny mother.
It is Christmas morning. See the happy family. See father smile. Father is happy. Smile, father smile. Father loves fruitcake. Father loves Christmas. Father loves all the new ties. Look, Look. See the happy Children. See the children’s toys. Santa was very good to the children. The children will remember Christmas. See mother. Mother is slumped in a chair. Mother is crying uncontrollably. Mother does not look well. Mother has ugly dark circles under her blood shot eyes. Everyone helps mother to her bed. See mother sleep quietly under heavy sedation.
See Mother smile
Funny, Funny mother.

The Best Christmas
The best Christmas gift of all is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up with one another.
Can you relate?
Although all of us could relate to the Funny, Funny mother story, TIME seems to be the one thing we long for, but never seem to have enough of. And when we get a few minutes we are usually too tired to enjoy it.
Julia Ward Howe said, “I am weary way down into next year”. That is descriptive of the way many of us feel---especially at the Christmas season. We become so exhausted that we miss the rest and peace that the Christ of Christmas can give us.
Our lives become so busy , we get worn out and have no time for friends, family or God. A lady once told me,” I ‘am so busy serving God, that I don’t have time for God”. What a shame, because God is the only person that can give us true rest and peace in the mist of our hectic lives.
