The Night before Christmas


Snow fell softly, strains of 'Silent Night' emanated from the radio, big red stockings hung at the fireplace, a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, its star shining brightly, stood proudly near the window; all was calm and quiet, when suddenly..

 

"CRASH… owwwww… BOOM… BANG.. owwwwww!!"

 

And Tom, with his tail in the mouse trap, chased Jerry, from the pantry into the living room.

 

"Hilarious!! Ho, ho, ho!!" laughed out the roly-poly old man, watching his favorite show for the umpteenth time.

 

"Haven't you left yet?" his wife chided.

"I'm going, I'm going dear. There's still time. I wish I had a nice, quiet night before Christmas", Santa sighed, as he stepped into his sleigh and headed off into the night sky.
