'Twas the Site by Three Sisters - 2022

It's Christmas Eve, and THAT means it's time for The Harris Sisters often imitated but never duplicated annual 2022 year-in-review in the form of a 'Twas the Night Before Christmas parody.

For new readers, this is a Harris Family tradition that dates back to the before-times (not quite when dinosaurs roamed the earth, but before helpful technology like computers, and blogs, and social media, and the interwebs). The original Harris Family Christmas parodies were written on paper with sharpened, lead-filled wood sticks (pencils) whilst sitting at the kitchen bar on Christmas Eve night.

So, to keep this grand old tradition alive, we still deliver these to you on Christmas Eve. (Just like jolly old St. Nick!)

We had lots of fun this year - and we always enjoy looking back and sharing the highlights with you! We're so glad we got to virtually "meet" some of our new friends and keep up with our old ones. We hope that you enjoyed reading along with us! If you're only following us on one social platform or the other, remember you can connect with us here on the blog, on Facebook, on Pinterest, and on Instagram. 

'Twas the Site by Three Sisters - 2022

'Twas the site by three sisters, Twenty Twenty-Two
We started off the year with a decor change-a-roo;
In February, we taught you tips and tricks right away,
To switch your Christmas tree to Valentine's Day.

As April rolled around, we could not keep silent,
Bringing gift ideas for a teen with a new license,
Ask your family members to submit and identify
Photos and advice to gift as this guide.

And then in June we just could not wait,
To tell you about our fun in The Volunteer State.
From antiquing to murals to a fun dinner cruise,
A garden tour and World's Fair Park - you've got nothing to lose!

In September, of course, we said a big cheers,
To celebrate The Harris Sisters blog – 10 years!
An anniversary photo we brought up-to-date,
And a big THANK YOU to help celebrate.

And then in December, we planned to make merry,
With the menu and décor for a Cousin Eddie Party,
More rapid than eagles the guests they came,
And we whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

"Now, EDDIE! now, CLARK! now, AUDREY and RUSTY!
On, RUBY SUE! on MARGO! on, TODD and BETHANY!
To the top of the RV! Photograph us all!
Now flash away! flash away! flash away all!"

As the first of Twenty Twenty-Three arrives,
We wanted to tell you how grateful we are for you guys,
To all who have followed, shared, commented, and liked,
"HARRIS CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!"

Merry Christmas from Misty, Donna, and Deanna! (And Daddy!) 

We're pictured here with custom National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation "Fun, Old Fashioned Harris Family Christmas" T-shirts. You can get custom T-shirts with your family name on them from Etsy. 

And you can read about our magical Christmas burn barrel tradition in this post about Harris Family Christmas Traditions, which also has the story about how the Christmas Eve parody started and scans of some of the original ones.

Make sure to take a look at our previous year's Christmas Eve parodies too!
