And all through the house...not a creature was stirring...not even a mouse.....The Children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads.....
More rapid than eagles
his courses they came,
And he whistled and shouted
and called them by name
"Now Dasher, now Dancer!
Now Prancer and Vixon!
On, Comet! On, Cupid!
On, Donder and Blitzen!".......
So up to the housetop the coursets they flew,
With Sleigh full of toys - and St. Nickolas too.....
I heard him exclaim
as he drive out of sight,
M e r r y C h r i s t m a s T o A l l !
And to all a Good night!
Dan
And to all a Good night!
