A poem by the Mrs. Michael Team on the importance of Christmas Home Maintenance
’Twas the night before Christmas, the house settled down,
With the tree glowing softly, lights warm all around.
The stockings were hung, the gifts tucked away,
And the long busy season had led to this day.
The guests had all come, the cooking was done,
The laughter, the noise, the holiday fun.
But behind all the cheer and the glow of the night,
The home had been working to keep things just right.
The furnace stayed steady through cold winter air,
The pipes held their own without freezing repair.
From hosting to cooking to heat running strong,
The systems worked hard the whole season long.
Now Christmas Eve’s here, it’s quiet at last,
A moment to pause after weeks that flew past.
A check after the holidays, once things slow down,
Can help keep surprises from popping around.
Maintenance isn’t flashy, it won’t steal the show,
But it keeps your home ready when winter winds blow.
It’s catching small issues before they appear,
So comfort stays steady through the rest of the year.
So as Christmas Eve settles in calm and bright,
And the house rests easy throughout the long night,
Remember the things that work out of sight —
A little care now helps keep everything right.
