happy ending Bat In a real Ire during this Christmas season perhaps even in your home the ending is usually far from happy or everyone Involved- the homeowner bis family the tire department and believe ui heres nothing we dislike more than having to report that a family was left homeless a week or two before Christmas Please be careful the night before Christmas and all across town Not a creature was stirring the snow drifted down Stockings were hung by chimneys with little care And no thought to a fire ever happening there With nothing to fill our minds with dread Until out on the street there arose such a clatter We sprang from our beds to see what was the matter Away to the window we flew like a flash Tore open the drapes and threw up the sash The moon shining down on the new fallen snow Gave a luster of midday to objects below When what to our wondering eyes should appear ButaHalton Hills firetmck and be men In full gear With sirens and red liahU flashlnfl Wecaughtonlya

stood on the sidewalk with fear in our eyes For from Inside came several frightened young cries Straight Into the house Firefighter Mike went And never came out until his air tank was spent Clutched In each arm was a small child The people outside with happiness went wild The firefighters worked hard In the flaming light It looked like it might be a long fight The other trucks arrived with men ladders and hose And soon from the building all that arose Were wisps of smoke and an occasional flame This lucky family would celebrate Christmas again All the were lost In the blaze Dolls guns cars and shiny new sleighs Mother and father had lost presents too But one important thing both of them knew Was that Christmas without presents turkey and chives Was better than Christmas with childrens lost Uvea All this was caused by one little wire One worn light wire had caused this fire The firefighters cleaned up to their trucks gave a leap This time they were glad for would weep The officer
