Just a little silly poem I wrote to get into the Christmas Spirit. I present a Furry Rewrite of the classic story, The Night Before Christmas. (I'm sure there are many errors, but I just wrote it for fun, and thought of sharing it ^^)
The Night Before Christmas
Furry Rewrite
By TJ
Twas the night before Christmas, In this quiet, dark house,
Only one creature stirred, but it wasn't a mouse.
A young sneaky fox crept to the Tree,
To peek at the presents with evident glee.
One present stood out, a rather large box,
“This one must be good” Said the cunning fox.
He picked it up, gave it a shake or two,
Listening for something, any kind of clue.
“Could it be a 360”. He Wondered. “Or ps3?”
“Anything would be better then a Nintendo Wii.”
He was so caught up in his wonder, he didn't hear,
The rather large footfalls that slowly did near.
They belonged to the giant, jolly man of the night,
The boy found out, when he spun around in fright.
It was the Santa Claus, “He's really here!”
With his sleigh outside, with 8 real reindeer.
With his chubby red cheeks, he stood tall,
Complete with a hat, with a tiny puff ball.
“Ho Ho Hold it right there, my curious Todd,
He spoke in a deep voice, turning off his I-Pod.
“Opening presents before Christmas” The fat man began,
“Can get you on the naughty list, certainly it can.”
Old saint Nick laughed, and gripped his big buckle,
“I'll let you off this time” He said with a chuckle.
Santa took the present from the fox's mitts,
“You should be asleep now, like the other kits.”
The boy didn't look up, he just looked down,
Too shy to do anything, even too shy to frown.
“The meaning of Christmas isn't about gifts on the floor,”
“Its about family, friends, things that can't be bought from a store.”
The young kit looked up, seeing Santa wasn't mad,
It made him feel better, made him feel glad.
That he had the chance, to meet old Chris Kringle,
And after Santa Claus left, those bells began to jingle.
He gave a wink, knowing his work was done,
And he called out each reindeer, not forgetting one;
“On Dasher! On Dancer! On Prancer And Vixen!
On Comet! On Cupid! On Donder and Blitzen!”
And he heard him shout, as he began to leave
“Merry Christmas, my furry friends, and to all a good eve.”
He climbed into bed, Thinking what to tell the others
To his parents, his sisters and of course his brothers.
He woke up in his bed, as the blanket covered,
It was Christmas morning, he shortly discovered.
He sprang from his bed, and ran to his parents room.
“Wake up mom! Wake up dad! Wake up soon!”
His parents awoke, surprised in their midst,
Their son was there, and not looting the gifts.
He hugged them both, and smile did the lad,
“I wanted to say Merry Christmas, Mom and Dad”
The family soon made their way downstairs
And dove into the presents, leaving their cares.
The boy remembered the words of saint Nick,
And gave his mother a happy lick.
For they were all together, A present couldn't be any better
Even though he got 12 pairs of socks, and a real ugly sweater.
The day was filled with laughter and joy,
Dinner was the best part, thought the young boy.
The day was over and tucked in, he did lay,
Thinking this was the best Christmas, even to this day.
He drifted off to sleep, but if he could, he just might,
Wish the world a Merry Christmas, and to all a good night.
Merry Christmas!

P.S: I have nothing against the Nintendo Wii, it just rhymed and I just couldn't resist ^^;
