marcyjane Posted December 5, 2011 #1 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I going on a cruise on Legend in April with my Son, Grandson and Daughter in Law. They picked the ship and date already due to their spring break from school and they think that when they come home to my house for Christmas that we are going to book it and pay the down payment and book excurisons. They don't know that I have booked the cruise already and paid their down payment which will be most all their Christmas and their Anniversary gift which falls in December as well. Also for Christmas I'm giving them some money toward the rest of the payment due. So I have purchased 3 cruise ship ornaments and have 3 Christmas tins to put them in their stockings and need a poem for them to read out loud broken into three parts to let them know I've booked and paid downpayment and that is anniversay & part of Christmas plus XXXX amount of $ for Christmas toward the balance due. My brain can't even think so I thought I would ask my Cruise Critic family to help. Thanks you all so much in advance for any help you can give me. Thanks, Marcy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcyjane Posted December 5, 2011 Author #2 Share Posted December 5, 2011 So far here goes. 'Twas the night before planning our cruise When all through Granny's house not a clue The stockings were hung by the fireplace with care In hopes something would be there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfoxcruiser Posted December 5, 2011 #4 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Marcy -- hope you don't mind, I ignored your opening. Son -- A cruise for Spring Break, a glorious vacation we'll take, I pray the money will be there, to pay our exorbitant fare, or our plans will be up in the air! DIL -- We really don't know, How far our money will go, But (fate/God?) will provide, And time's on our side. DGS -- But (Granny/Mimi?) has a secret, and it was really hard to keep it! She whispered to me, We're covered you see, The plans have been made, initial fees have been paid, We can relax and chill, (Granny, Mimi?) is helping foot the bill!! Hope this helps.

xbatt8 Posted December 5, 2011 #5 Share Posted December 5, 2011 We deck the halls, with shopping malls, and fight the crowds each day. Just buying more toys, for good girls and boys Who say thanks and then toss them away. The time has come, I’ve said to some, To put an end to this folly. The season at hand is one that is grand, And all involved should be jolly. So let out a cheer, ‘cause your gifts for this year Have inspired this poetic tale. We’ll meet at the dock, and take that short walk, And as a family we will all set sail. Merry Christmas Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cruise has been booked. The downpayment was made. My treat to you this year, Is your deposit I paid! I've been keeping this secret, and hiding details from you.
