And all through the stable
Not a creature was sleeping,
Lights shone from the gable.
The stalls were festooned
With ribbons and holly.
The horses were happy;
The donkeys were jolly.
The goat danced a jig
While the cats played a tune.
The animals were excited
Because the guest would arrive soon.
Anxiously they waited
Carefully watching the door.
Their ears were perked
With every footstep on the floor.
Then with a "Whoosh",
The red sleighed arrived.
The animals rejoiced
And the whole barn came alive.
Through the door came
Old Saint Nick himself.
Every eye twinkled to see
The magic Christmas elf.
With a gusty "Ho, ho,"
His dark eyes twinkled.
A winter wind blew
And the icicles tinkled.
He blessed every head
Touching each furry one.
He winked at them all
Until he was done.
Then the jolly old elf
Jumped into his sleigh.
The animals called "Goodbye"
With whinnies and a neigh.
The animals watched
As he rode out of sight
and they sang in a chorus
"Merry Christmas- tonight!"
