‘Twas the Night Before Christmas

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas — A Parody
By Keri Pugh—Student Brookwood High School
‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Everyone was restless, including the mouse.
Scurrying around in search for a snack, he found Santa’s cookies
And he won’t give them back.
The children, all peeking out into the snow
Patiently waiting on Santa to show
Leaving us gifts neatly under the tree
Lots of great toys for sister and me.
When all of a sudden, I heard a big crash.
I ran from my room, gone in a flash
I arrived to a living room full of debris
Santa crashed right through the roof, destroying the tree
He looked at me with eyes really wide–
The reindeer are gone just the sleigh is inside!
I looked at the hole Santa came through
He says with a sigh “what will I do?”
Santa chanted a merry little chant
“Soon” he says “the elves will be here”
“Without a doubt they’ll fix this mess.
So, other children won’t go Christmas-less”
The elves ride in on candy canes
Zipping through clouds like airplanes
The elves, like magic, fix the place up
Fresh cookies on the plate, even milk in the cup!
He leaves tons of great gifts all festively wrapped,
Continues his trip–he has it all mapped.
This night is a night, I won’t soon forget
This Christmas is the best one yet!
“Merry Christmas!” I shouted as he flew away
Off into the night reindeer pulling his sleigh
He proclaims a loud “Ho, Ho, Ho!!” with great cheer
“Good night to all! I’ll see you next year!”
