'Twas the night before Christmas in Area 51 House Garden friends were stirring including 'Jiffymouse' The stockings were hung by the chimney with care in hopes that St. Pappa Bear 'Bill' soon would be there! 'Loz' and 'Weezie' were nestled snug deep in their beds While 'BF Visions' of 'algreyparrotts' bananas danced in their heads. 'Comfrey' in her kerchief, and 'JV' in his cap had just sat down for some cake and cognac. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter JV sprung fron his chair to see what was the matter! Away to the window he flew with a flash he tore open the mini-blinds and spilled his cognac! The moon on the fresh fallen snow showed so clear gave the luster of scattered diamonds on a back drop of black gold so dear!
When what to their wondering eyes did appear?!! But St. Pappa Bear Bill and 8 tiny reindeer. The protective swift driver, so caring and true He makes personal buttons that decribe only you! More rapid than Eagles, his coursers they came and he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name..... Now , 'Merme', Now 'Will Creed', Now'Cricket',and 'Patty' On 'Hisgal', On 'Obywan',On 'TK' and 'Buglady'
To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall Now dash away, dash away, dash way ALLL! As Dry Leaves that before was layering for com- post Whipped high in the air, leaving 'black-gold' for most. So up to the house-top these Gardners they flew With a sleigh full of garden supplies and St. Bill too. And then in a twinkling they heard on the roof The dancing of Yuletide for the joy of plants grew!! Down the chimney St.Bill came with a bound . Don't worry He's not hurt he's used to bouncing around. He was dressed in red overalls from his neck to his foot, And he was happy but tarnished with ashes and soot. A Bundle of gardening toys he had flung on his back and looks like a kind Peddler just opening his pack. He's eyes how they twinkled, His Smile so Merry His cheeks were like roses his nose like a cherry His droll little mouth drawn up like a bow and the beard on his chin was as white as the snow The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth and the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath Oh You could see St. Bill was really 'njoynit'!! He spoke not a word but went straight to his work Filled all the stocking with 'Potnpans' and Goodies and didn't even forget the one '4Ruddy'!! He finished his work and turned with a jerk and laying his finger aside of his nose Giving a nod-- UP the chimney he rose He sprung to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,, and Away they all flew like the down of a thistle But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight
