T'was the night before Christmas,
And all across the map,
Everything was peaceful
Denmark would soon change that.
The sleigh was already,
The presents were packed
Finland was the driver,
And that is a fact.
Sweden was in front,
Watching and Ready
Iceland was in back,
Making sure all was steady.
And Denmark was there
Because he had nothing to do,
His axe was getting sharpened
And his cable out too
And why was old Norway here
Do you ask?
He was here to watch Denmark
And keep him on task.
"Look," Finland shouted,
"I see Cuba in sight
For Christmas, he gets ice cream
But it's just a pint."
Denmark sat in the back
Beginning to snore
They had been at this for hours
It was such a bore.
Denmark was distracted
He saw something tiny
As he got closer
He saw it was shiny
While that as happing
Finland beam with joy
He loved giving presents
To each girl and boy.
In the back of the sleigh,
There arose such a clatter,
Everyone turned around
To what was the matter.
"Look guys," Denmark said
With a metal thing in his hand
"I got this from the bottom,
I think it was made in Japan."
"No," Finland yelled.
"Put that thing back.
Without it, the sleigh can't fly
And there'll be a lackā¦."
The sleigh gave a shudder.
Before Finland could finish,
It began to drop,
With its power diminished.
Down through the sky
The sleigh tumbled so fast.
Finland tried to get the reigns
And get control in his grasp.
When he couldn't grab it,
Sweden gave it a try,
But he soon found
He couldn't make the reindeer fly
He was at least able
To aim towards the sea
So the landing would
A little safer be.
As the cold water drew close
They all took cover
Finally, with a splash.
The falling was over.
A short moment later,
The dust seemed to clear.
Finland saw that it
Was as bad as it appeared.
The reindeer were gone
The sleigh was a wreak
They were out of the sky
And the presents were wet.
Norway saw the destruction
He knew Denmark was the reason
He should be punished in a way
That fits every season.
He grabbed Denmark tie
And gave it a squeeze
Denmark began coughing
And started to wheeze.
Sweden moved towards them
To brake them apart
But then he saw Finland's sad face,
And it melted his heart.
Sweden sat be his Finland,
A good friend indeed
He was always there
When Finny was in need.
"What will I do."
Finland sighed, very sad
"The sleigh is now ruined
Things really are bad
"In the morning all of the kids
Will run down to their tree
And the see a big empty spot
Where their presents should be!"
Norway let go of Denmark
And he pulled away quick
Then he shouted in such angry
"Why don't you just QUITE!"
Finland looked down at the sleigh
Feeling incredibly sad
Christmas was his holiday,
It was all that he had.
"Don't worry Finland,
We'll fix the sleigh"
Sweden said calmly
"It'll be ready before Christmas day."
"Look" Iceland shouted
"I see and Island over there
We can stop and fix the sleigh
If we have time to spare."
As they paddled closer
They saw the beach
They all heard a little voice
With a high pitch speech.
"Stop walking, stop walking,
White flag, can't you see.
I surrender completely
Please don't pummel me!"
From the voice Finland thought
It must be a girl
But as they got closer
He saw the cute curl.
It was Italy!
Finland cheery old friend
But who were those people around him
Who were getting closer with no end?
It was the allies fighting the axis!
How could they do this?
It was Christmas Eve.
The Christmas spirit they missed.
When they got close enough,
Finland did shout,
"Please stop this fighting don't you
Remember what Christmas is about?"
The axis and the allies
Looked back at them in shock.
As the sleigh touch the shore
No one did talk
"Can you please some have peace?"
Finland finally said
"Can't you give it a rest
And put these contentions to bed?"
"It Christmas?" America asked,
"Oh Really since when?
I can't believe that this war
It made me forget again."
"Then what are you doing here?"
Italy said bouncing his curl
"Should you be flying
Giving present to the world?"
"Sadly I can't"
Finland said with a sigh
"The sleigh is now broken
And it sure can't fly."
Everyone began to sulk
At the thought of tomorrow
They couldn't fix Christmas
No matter how much time they barrow
"Christmas is over."
Italy cried quite sadly
Seeing his friend cry
Made the German act manly.
"Donqaf!" Germany shouted,
"You're too quick to give up.
You know Finland,
A wreaked sleigh isn't enough
"To make him and his friends
Give up on their route"
Then the quite Canadian said,
"Maybe we can help oot."
"Great idea, Britain." America said
Unaware of who said it,
Now, the idea wasn't Britain's,
But he'd still take the credit.
They all split into groups
Everyone to their stations
They all landed a hand
Each country, each nation.
Germany and Sweden,
Being engineers at heart,
Worked on the sleigh
And fixed every part.
Finland was on toys,
France and Italy too
They fixed all of them
And made them look new.
Norway, Iceland, and Britain,
Were just having fun
Being in charge and
Whacting over everyone.
Denmark and America's loud voices
Brought the reindeer back home.
Russia tied them up and insisted
They no longer roam.
China and Japan
Wrapped presents up at the start
But they did it so nicely
They made it an art.
Once everything was ready,
Everyone sat by the fire.
They sat in such peace,
Without any ire.
The Axis, the allies and the Nordics
All together as one.
Finland thought to himself
What could be more fun?
His friends all together,
So very happy now.
Finland had to keep this peace
And he knew exactly how.
He went back to sleigh, and said
"Now don't let me forget,
The presents for each of you,
You'll love them I bet.
"Japan has some sushi,
Germany has some wurst too
And some Hockey Sticks for Canada
Don't think I forgot you.
"Some roses for France,
And escargot in a sack,
They should tide you over
Until you get back.
"Italy's present,
Now what a pleasant surprise,
He has lots of pasta
Enough to feed one thousand guys.
"Britain let's see
a new suit and a wand
Now you look classy
Just like James Bond"
"And America you got
Hamburgers, galore
Britain laughed and said
"Oh what a bore"
"And Russia a letter from Lithuania
To remind you of home
China has a stuff panda
To go with him where ever he roam,
"Now please keep the peace
That you felt here tonight
And at least wait till the 26th
To continue your fight."
The Nordics all together
Hop into the sleigh
And with a crack of a whip
They all few away.
And Finland did shout
As he flew through the air
" Merry Christmas to all, Denmark,
Please leave that there."
