Merry Christmas and Peaceful Tidings

'Twas the night before Christmas

and all through the house

not a creature was stirring

'cept maybe the mouse.

The cookies were all laid out with care

in hopes that Saint Nicholas might tarry there.

The decor was in place to cheer up the season

Even an elf, it was way beyond reason.

So along came the big guy a little worn for wear

and added some presents here and there.

He smiled at the cookies, checked his list

and surveyed the scene to make sure

nothing was missed.

Then laying a finger aside of his nose

quickly out the door he goes.

Merry Christmas!

And a happy anything wonderful

you may celebrate to cheer you

through the end of another year.

Peaceful tidings to you all

from Hunky Dory and 

the whole family.
