Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse...
The stockings were hung by the
chimney wall with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there...
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof the prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head and was turning around,
down the chimney through the door St. Nicholas "and Scooter" came in with a bound.
He They spoke not a word, but went straight to
his their work, and filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk...
And laying his finger aside of his nose, and giving a nod,
up the chimney out the door he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, and away they all flew (minus Scooter the Elf) like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night!

This year there was lots of Christmas fun, with presents abound.
Some presents were just so neat, a few feuds just couldn't be beat.
Stockings were packed with gifts and with candies.
And Daddy did really good with picking out Mommy's goodies.
Carly the Dog's Christmas was even great.
She made out with a new bed, perfect for her as now she can hibernate.
In fact, I have yet to see her awake...
Yes, it was a good Christmas. A Christmas that was just perfect for us.
