To the Christmas-Eve World

This is a parody of Lewis Carroll's "To the looking-glass world" from Through the Looking-Glass

To the Christmas-Eve world it was Santa that said,
"I've a present in hand, I've a hat on my head.
Let the Christmas-Eve creatures, whatever they be,
Not stir with my reindeer and elves dear and me!"

                Then fill up the stockings as quick as you can,
                And sprinkle the cookies with chocolate and bran:
                Put mints in the cocoa and milk in the tea—
                And welcome Old Santa with thirty-times-three!

"O Christmas-Eve creatures," quoth Santa, "be still!
I've a tattle to tell and a stocking to fill:
'Tis a privilege high to find under the tree
A gift from my reindeer and elves dear and me!"

                Then fill up the stockings with snow-cones and meat
                Or anything else that is pleasant to eat:
                Mix oil with oxen and ketchup with kine—
                And welcome old Santa with ninety-times-nine!
