Twas the Night Before Christmas (Boating Version)

We have been all setup for Christmas on the boat now for a few weeks. The harbor we are in now has a nice Christmas Boat Parade however it was scheduled for the day we returned from Vacation so we didn't participate. We did however decorate the boat on the outside by running colored lights around the entire boat from stem to stern along the pulpits and lifelines. We also ran white lights inside the cockpit and in the evenings we would play Christmas music so those walking down the street to the local restaurants could hear it. It was pretty cool and was always nice to keep us in the Christmas spirit. Additionally, we have a very small 2 foot Christmas tree that we decorated and put on a small table in the front of the Salon. We hung the stockings from the Port Catches in the Salon and it really made it feel nice and 'Christmassy' down below. Deb also made a nice piece of Garland that she hung on the arch between the Salon and NavStation & Galley. It looks great. I have heard several different versions of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" but I figured this would be a nice variation to it.
