Twas the night before Christmas.

Twas the night before Christmas and all thru the suite

Wafted the delicious smells of mom's turkey meat

Snow was falling outside ever so lightly

The kids inside were whining ever so slightly

All were basking in the day of powder joy

As the kids anticipated unwrapping their toys

Outside the temperature was about negative seven

Six inches overnight making it snowboarder heaven

Staying up late playing games and watching a show

Going to bed dreaming of powdery snow

Both kids bundled up and skiing Gondola laps

Know this mountain so well, don't need no maps

Ghiradelli chocolates stuffed in our pockets

Riding laps on Powder Chair and Ridge Rocket 

Mom cautiously skiing down the Gondola run

Snow glittery in the holiday sun

Christmas up here with warm family meals

Kids unwrap presents with excited squeals

Whizzing down Paradise w Dad on our skis

Followed by apres dinner boxing fun on the Wii

Christmas at Big White holds a special place in my heart

Because that's where the best family memories start
