Tis the night before Christmas, and the fire burns bright,
The stockings are hung in the soft, amber light.
But instead of a sleigh or the sound of a deer,
A different kind of magic is drawing quite near.
I sat with my laptop, a glow on my face,
Logged into Stake, my favorite place.
The chat was all buzzing with holiday cheer,
Waiting for Rain and the drops to appear.
Then all of a sudden, there arose such a clatter,
I clicked on my vault to see what was the matter.
Away to the "Promos" I flew like a flash,
To find that the system was raining down cash!
The moon on the breast of the digital screen,
Gave a luster of gold to the bets I had seen.
When what to my wondering eyes should be told?
But a Reload so massive, it turned into gold.
With a click and a scroll, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it wasn't a trick.
The Monthly Bonus had landed—oh, what a sight!
A gift from the Eddie to make the night right.
"On Bitcoin! On Ether! On Doge and Litecoin!
On Ripple and Tether!"—the balance did join!
From the top of the leaderboard, down to the small,
Now dash away, cash away, gifts for us all!
The Bonus Drops fell like the softest of snow,
While the "Mines" and the "Plinko" were starting to glow.
A holiday VIP gift arrived in the mail,
A treasure of prizes that never would fail.
I spoke not a word, but went straight to my play,
And filled all my pockets for Christmas Day.
And laying a finger aside of my mouse,
A win so enormous it shook the whole house!
I heard a faint whisper as the screen faded dim,
"A Merry Stake-mas to her and to him!"
But I heard him exclaim, as I turned off the light:
"Happy Gaming to all, and to all a good night!"
