It was a cold winter night
Everyone was in bed snug tight
Suddenly I heard a loud noise
I thought it must be the wind
Blowing through the trees
But the noise got louder
I pulled the covers over my head
Being a bit frightened but not really scared.
Then suddenly the noise stopped
I got up and dashed to the door
There was nothing to be seen.
I thought, "Since I'm up I'll grab a snack."
As I began to eat, I heard the noise again
Jingle, jingle, the noise went.
I went back to the door
But before I could open it, I was knocked to the floor.
I looked up, and strange as it may seem
A jolly old gent stared at me
He asked me why I wasn't in bed
I could think of nothing, so I scratched my head.
Astonished by my silence
He began to laugh and laugh and laugh.
Soon he convinced me to go off to bed.
The next morning I awoke looking to find the old gent
But he was nowhere to be found
Instead I found stockings filled with candy and fruit
Toys that I had longed for
And a card that read
"Remember, Jesus is the reason."
