Anapestic Christmas

'Twas the Night before Christmas' is a famous Christmas poem written in anapestic tetrameter. Each line sounds like this: da da DA da da DA da da DA da da DA, and every pair of lines rhymes.

Write your own Christmas poem (it can be very short, if you like!) in anapestic tetrameter.
