Our friends were a-slumber, long since gone to bed, The moon through the window shone soft on their heads. All were anxious as children for St. Nick to appear, But the time of the...

The First Epic Christmas (cont)
One mighty leap, and he vanished from view, All we saw were his coarsers, his chariot too. Breathing softly in silence we prayed for salvation, But even God must pay heed, to the Lord of Damnation. Now off of its hinges, the door splintered from sight, At last we beheld the dark King of the Night.
