Twas' Christmas Eve night
The day had finally come!
All in Gallagher were happy and joyous
Well, all except ONE
Every kid in Gallagher Elementary liked Christmas A LOT
But Father, who lived just a few blocks away from the school with the delightfullized members of Sector Z, did NOT
Father hated the elementary kids
This everyone knew
So why was there a holiday that made kids even more happier?
This just wouldn't do!
So he turned to his 'children'
And with a cold, sneer
"I'm sick of this holiday!" said he.
"I'm going to stop it from coming this year!"
The members of Sector Z gasped.
"Father, we've been really good this year! This is insane!
Don't take Christmas away from US! It's those other kids you should blame!"
At these words Father laughed.
"My children, did you actually think
I would prevent presents for YOU. You make me go pink!"
"You alone have been excellent children this year
But those other kids, they aren't going to be getting any presents from Santa my dears,"
"And how do you plan on getting rid of Christmas?" Sector Z asked, minds all a mingle.
"All I have to do is act like dear old Kris Kringle,"
Father laughed an evil laugh, and normally his children would follow the suit.
But they didn't laugh, because you see the members of Sector Z were all mute.
They didn't understand Father's devious plot
How can you steal Christmas by acting like Santa Clause, was the question that ran through their heads.
Though little did they realize, the sense in the words Father had said.
And so began the scheming.
Father thought it up quick.
And after he put the finishing touches upon his plot
He looked like Saint Nick.
He dressed Sector Z as elves
And after some minor detail
His dog Scraps became Rudolph
This plan was just too good to fail
Midnight was the hour
The plan was ready to go
With Scraps up in front
Father lead the sleigh up over roofs covered in snow
You see Father's plan was quaint
He figured this out
Kids were happy when Santa Clause came
Wasn't that what Christmas was all about?
It was about the toys. It was about the gifts.
It was about the stockings, the trimmings, the bags.
So if you eliminate everything. From the toys to the bags.
Father figured that the kids of Gallagher Elementary would be
Too sad to nag.
They would be heartbroken, no presents under the tree.
Christmas would be ruined, thanks to Father's own glee.
So Father set out to steal Christmas.
One house at a time.
Sector Z watched in amusement
This was like an old Christmas rhyme
When the kids woke up in the morning
They would be devastated to see
All their Christmas toys gone
No stockings, No tree.
And so Father reached the first house
Scraps landed the sled with a soft thud
Sector Z watched on
As Father slid down the chimney covered in snow and mud
With him, a plastic bag that he would use
To collect all his items and even the food
Father cleared up the house
All the presents and the tree
He left nothing left for the children
He even took the last of their feed
So when his mission was finished;
His sack full with his loot
Father climbed back up the chimney
Ignoring the soot
Sector Z waited for him loyally at the top
They already knew that this certainly wasn't Father's last stop
The night went on
Each house was the same
Father collected everything
That man was insane!
No presents were left under the tree
No Christmas feast left in the fridge
If one were to ask how Father could fit down the tiny chimneys
He would reply "It's just a tight smidge"
Finally the long night was starting to come to a close
Father had one more house left to rob
Little did he know that it was Kuki SanBans'
And if Kuki ever found out Father's evil plot then she would do more than sob
So down the chimney once again did Father go
Ignoring the clumps of dirt, mud and snow
Once inside he got right to work
He gathered everything up in his bag, all the trimmings and toys
He had just tied the knot and was about to leave until he heard a soft noise
Little Mushi had gotten herself out of bet for a cold cup of water
A rainbow monkey under her arm
She looked confused up at Father
Who was too busy panicking to put on any charm
You see,
Young Mushi had walked in just as Father stuffed up her Christmas tree
"Santa Clause, why are you taking our Christmas Tree?"
Mushi asked; She could have been the cause of Father's demise
That is if the young girl had not fallen for Father's clever disguise
Father bit his lip
He broke out a cold sweat
Then an idea came to him
With out any fret
"My dear girl, I was sent by your parents you see,
They asked me come over and fix this poor tree,"
"The branches are crooked on this side and that
There's one that sticks out and resembles a hat"
Mushi bought the lie
Father sent her back to bed
With a cup of water in her hand
Mushi realized she had nothing to dread
So Father left, his sleigh pack with goods
He steered it towards the highest point in Gallagher,
Mount Crumpitshood
Father laughed evilly as he stood upon Mount "Crumpit"
His loot in position, ready to dump it
Morning was arriving
The sun was almost awake
Father smiled a wicked smile
A smile that one would automatically classify as 'fake'
Soon kids would be waking up in Gallagher
The first thing they would see
Christmas Day ruined, no presents under the tree
Then came the best part!
The part that didn't make Father shy
As reality hit Gallagher
All those children would CRY
They would cry 'Boo hoo'
"There aren't any toys!"
"Doesn't Santa Clause like us?
"Weren't we good girls and boys?"
Sector Z laughed along with Father
There mission complete
But something was wrong, as they stood upon Mount Crumpitshood covered in sleet
Morning came
The sun rose up high
Children were now awake
But Sector Z and Father did not hear them cry
Instead, another sound came
One soft yet loud
Gallagher Elementary children were SINGING
They had formed a huge crowd!
All were assembled in Gallagher Square
Father's jaw dropped in shock; this just wasn't FAIR!
Those children weren't supposed to be happy, no way!
Father had taken all their presents and trees and loaded them up on his sleigh!
But standing out in the middle of the snow
Children and adults, all young and old
Everyone was singing
No one was sad
Father just stood there
He was boiling MAD
Then a thought struck him
He thought he had figured it out
He had taken all what made Christmas
Weren't the presents and trees what Christmas was about?
If those things were gone
And children were singing
Then maybe there was something more
Another Christmas meaning
And then Father understood
Christmas had come
It came with out presents it came with out bags
Christmas wasn't ruined, it had still brought joy to some!
Then something strange happened
Father couldn't recognize
He felt very guilty, he felt very wrong
He felt very small in size
Sector Z felt it too
They had automatically seen
The wrong of their ways
They had seen what Christmas really did mean.
So together they went
Down Mount Crumpitshood to the root
Scraps still lead the sleigh
What? It was better than going on foot!
They returned all the presents
They returned all the trees
They returned all the trimmings
They returned all the feed
This surprised KND operatives
They had just found out about Father's night long plot
But it seemed Father's way had changed
Before his plan could be put to a stop
So Father joined Gallagher in joyous celebration
He and Sector Z even cut the Christmas turkey at the Gallagher's annual feast in temptation
And so ends my poem
Father and Sector Z brought back the Christmas cheer
Now all that's left to say is Merry Christmas to all and have a Happy New Year!
