’Tis the night before Christmas, and all through the house, Not a creature was stirring… except for the mouse— A tiny gray thief with a sack full of cheese, Who’d planned Christmas heist with astonishing ease. But hark! From the roof came a *clatter*, a *bang*— Down slid Santa’s sleigh with a magical twang. His reindeer snorted, his boots left no trace… Except glittery footprints right there by the fireplace. The mouse froze mid-bite. Santa winked, “No fear, I’ve brought you a gift — your own sleigh, my dear!” A walnut-shell sleigh, pulled by ladybugs bright, To deliver crumbs to creatures all night. Together they soared o’er rooftops of snow, Dropping peppermint treats where warm chimneys glow. By dawn, every critter had something sweet— Even grumpy old Mr. Hedgehog down the street. Santa tipped his hat, “Merry Christmas, small friend. Sometimes the best magic begins at the end… Of a quiet night, with courage so true— The smallest hearts make the biggest breakthroughs.” And with that? He vanished… but left one last crumb. For next year’s adventure. The tale’s just begun. 🎄🐭🎅
