Christmas Eve
'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung
By the chimney with care.
In hopes that St. Nicholas
Soon would be there.

When out on the lawn
There arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed
To see what was the matter.
Four deer were enjoying a Christmas Eve repast
just outside the sun room.
One was to the left of these two;
the other to the right.
