'Twas the night after Christmas
And at the North Pole
Santa was tired
from his global patrol.

The reindeer, exhausted,
Lay down in the house
And the elves snuggled in
Right above on the couch.

Mrs Claus looked around
And thought "My! What a sight!"
With a smile, she set off
to make everything right!

She deftly assembled
A platter of sweets-
And a hot cocoa tray
For some post-Christmas treats!

She presented the feast
With a twinkle in her eye
Santa chuckled and exclaimed,
"What a JOLLY Good Night!"
