T'was the night before the Harvest

And all through the Quarter,

The witches were stirring

And Klaus's temper got shorter.

"These witches are plotting

and scheming against me!

I should kill them all.

Why, nothing prevents me!"

"Oh brother," said Elijah,

So calm and debonair.

"It's the holidays, relax,

And enjoy the crisp air."

"The holidays are about family

And soon you'll have a daughter.

No one should taint this

Festive time with a slaughter."

Then Rebekah leaned forward

And smirked with aplomb,

"Except for that time that

You drowned Tyler's mom."

So, Klaus took a deep breath,

And his heart grew three sizes,

As he decided to hold off

On his murderous surprises.

And so werewolf and witch,

Hybrid and vampire,

All gathered around

The warm yuletide fire.

So now in the Quarter

All are filled with good cheer.

And Klaus won't massacre anyone

At least not till the New Year.
