Merlin and the Chandelier
By May Waters
The Great Wizarding Christmas Carol sung by Sirius every year on December First. It's the story of how Merlin decorated the castle for Christmas, he impressed the king with his own magic so he could gain favor in the courts, and protected a few generations of witches and wizards from the witch hunts. Merlin is a hero to pureblood lines everywhere, sometimes they did catch members of wizarding community and manage to kill them. This at least protected the community for a while and who wouldn't want a chandelier made out of a Christmas tree?
Oh great Christmas Merlin
went dancing round the witches trial.
He danced and danced till all was done
and the king was very pleased.
He used his wand to turn the halls
a forest of silver and blue.
There in the corner stood a family
who were bound to be warm on Christmas morn.
He bounced around the halls,
he didn't need a broom.
He waved his wand and showed the king
we all were very gay.
The king he stoppedhis wolvish hounds
from running in the streets.
He saved the magic in the land
and became a royal vizier.
He took a tree from way up high
and turned it upside down.
With a wave it turned white
and glowed with Christmas spirit.
He pinned it up high in the hall
and it grew from the ceiling.
It danced with color through the night
and the king made Merlin his helper.
The castle was set with Christmas joy
and no one in the land swore against the king.
So Merlin made the yule tree spin with sparkling boughs
till it was a chandelier!
