Bradley Mdllwain Grade 3 St. Mark the Evangelist Catholie Schoai THIE 24TH NIGIIT 0F DECEMBER The night ove of Christmas haid nwbgun, Tho moon was up but down wais tho sun. The night wae silent and I set off te, sloap, On this cold winter night thora was net a peep. Thon I hourd belle ringing thait disturbed my enore, I looked eut the windew and reindeer galora. Nino tiny reindeer were heaving ai sloigh, And a man dressed in rod with a beard thait was gray. The team aiighted on the roof high ebove, And Ianded se, gently, ais soft as a <love. The stops of the raindeor who stood ovrhead, Made a swoet iuilaby thait dancod in my head. From inside my chimnoy I heard -ai loud clattor, I paiused, thon aigain I hourd thait patter. I rushed te, the roc room and Santa I saw, Ho had a red coat and fuzzy groen paiwe. A morry werm chuckie, Santa id make, Followed by a Ho! Ho!. Ho! thait did not soem fae. Yes, for certain it was, jolly old Saint Nickr, It took me a while te actually cick. Standing in front of me was a man from the polo, And te, visit every bouse was bis main goal. Ho laid down the presents by the trea with came, and veniebed up the chimney and left me te, stare. I hoard the seunds of footetepe depart from my roof, I heard the stumble of roindoor waik with thoir hoofs. I ran te my window te wavo Santa good-bye, Hie vaiediction was clear aind soomed very nigb. Sky.high Santa wont and ho v anishod withilight, And a largo flash of it as ho said good-night. The ove of Christmais haid coma te, an end, To wish ail a Merry Christmas is what I intend.
