‘Twas the week before Christmas and all through the farm, everyone was busy with horses in the barn.
The toddler hung his paper snowflake with care, in hopes that chocolate biscuits were near.
Santa came early, with presents of joy! A flash green bike for a good little boy.
During the smoke’o, everyone gathered, enjoying shade and coffee, (or tea if they rather.)
There was a first gingerbread house for young and old. It was just like in the stories they had been told!

And because I like ‘getting in the spirit’ archaeological style…

On the twelfth day of Christmas archaeology gave to me,
Twelve trowels sharpened
Eleven students digging
Ten test pits surveyed
Nine sifters sifting
Eight hours sitting
Seven days of digging
Six ice cold beers
FIVE ARTIFACTS!
Four wall collapses
Three sore asses
Two stressed grads
And an A in archaeology!
