The Night Before Christmas Eve

Twas the night before the night before Christmas
And Santa was in quite a rush
Examining his naughty and nice lists
exchanging some names was a must

The elves were all making merry
at the North Pole’s toy making party
Gorging themselves on sweet treats
and spiced cocoa made for the hardy

Mrs. Clause was refereeing the finals
of the reindeer games of the year
The Donner’s were playing the Vixen’s
Rudolph leading the jeering cheers

The lights were set on the flight ramp
Santa’s sleigh was already packed
A chore usually left for Christmas Eve 
the snowmen helped take up the lack

Everything was set for Christmas Eve
a day ahead of the final year flight
The gang all sends their best regards
Merry Christmas to all and good-night!!

Nice to read some christmas late about the day before his important date. The christmas spirit's alive and well down in the bayou it's cast it's spell. Within a heart that beats so true with joy and folly for all to view. Peace. :)

Yes, that's exactly the way I am, an early bird, do things early to get them done so you can enjoy the days ahead! But of course in the case of Santa, he can only go so far in advance...he can't deliver the presents until Christmas Eve night!/ very early Christmas morning! I really loved this incredible write my friend! I just love the story of Santa claus, such a delightful piece of your poem! Great Work!!
