"Twas the night before Christmas" is a timeless Classic poem that was written back in 1823 but it is still
read to children today. But had it been written today it would have started a little like this...
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of giant M&M's danced in their heads;
All with candy kisses the size of your head;
Surrounded by candy canes striped in red.
Cotton candy by the handful and gumdrops so dandy
Oh the sweet dreams of lots and lots of candy...
The sweet Dreams of Christmas 2010.
