(I know it's not anyway near Christmas :) But I was in a really happy mood and lines from The Grince just kept playing in my head! So I thought why not write this! :D Anyway please enjoy!)

Tis was the night before

Tis was the night before Christmas and all through the house.

Nothing was stirring not even a mouse.

Up in their rooms the children lay sleeping, dreaming of candy, toys and sharp pointy thingies.

But like all years that came to pass.

There lay awake a certain fine wee lass.

She lay awake with one eye open, hoping to catch old Prator Lai in the motion.

And to her surprise she did hear.

A slip and a slide from downstairs.

Up she was in a flash! And downstairs she ran Moogle in hand.

But confuse she did stand when instead she saw…a blonde haired man 6 feet tall.

"Excuse me dear sir. But where is thou going with my Christmas tree?"

The man did stop and turn unaware of the fair wee lass standing there.

He was caught red handed tree aloft, the Gippal thought up a lie and he thought it up quick.

"A bulb was broken" He did degree as skillfully as Cheshire's smile "And I was taking it away to be fix by Lai as he wants only the finest Christmas trees!"

And did the little Yuna's eyes fill with wonder.

"Prator Lai wants my tree!" Her eyes did sparkle with joy "Please take it! Take it please! Prator Lai may have my Christmas tree!"

But something did go amiss in Gippal's plan as he gazed apon the little lass.

His heart did swell and grow and true it be told the Gippal's heart did grow 9 times that day.

His heart a swell with love and care the Gippal placed down the tree back in its place.

"But it would seem this tree is fine enough!" He grinned with care as he made his way to the chimneys lair. "But before I go a word of care! Little girls should be in bed and dreaming before Prator Lai comes meeting!"

And with a song and dance Gippal climbed up the chimney.

With a song in her heart Yuna did sleep joining the many dreaming of old Prator Lai.

But be it a surprise something did happen that night.

As Yuna lay sleeping a gentle hand did lay itself apon her head

"Ah did does seem you've been good every year!" And did a small present get placed beside her bed and with a smug grin the Prator left.

But before he did.

"Good night, Farewell Lady Yuna still. May all your dreams be happy" And Lai entered the chimney "But none the least!"

MARRY CHRISTMAS!

And the Prator vanished in a flash!

(Very special thanks to Yuna of Besaid who's kind words have helped me back on my feet. This one is dedicated to you! :D)
