The Cullen's Night Before Christmas

The Cullen's Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a Cullen was sleeping, except for one mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
But since vampires are sleepless, Santa had to beware.

Alice and Jasper were playing a game.
Emmett and Rosalie took a walk in the rain.
Carlisle and Esme wrapped gifts for the poor,
And Edward sat waiting for Bella to snore.

When deep in the forest, they heard a loud "Thud!"
In a flash Alice knew that the sound was no good.
The Cullen's went running to see what was there.
What they found in the clearing caused them to despair.

Victoria was up to her old tricks again.
Santa had fallen; his sleigh was on end!
Victoria was lunging for the plump, jolly man,
Then Edward appeared to lend him a hand.

He jumped in between Victoria and St. Nick.
The others stepped forward, and she ran off quick.

Carlisle offered to check Santa out,
But Santa just smiled and called with a shout,
"Come Dasher and Dancer, get back to the sleigh.
Christmas Eve's almost over, we must be away."

The Cullen's helped Santa fix his sleigh up just right,
And off they all went into the dark night.
But they heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight,
"Thank you dear Cullen's. I'm glad you don't bite!"
