Twas the night before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas, about twenty past six, and all through the house,
The only thing heard was a sigh and a grouse. 
Who's idea was it to try and make crackers ourselves?
When usually these things are made by the elves?
Santa's little helper was out in the snow,
Taking photos of candles in the wind that did blow.
Back in the house chief elf was left glum
Would the last two crackers ever get done.
But then the wine opened and so did the beer.
Bugger the crackers! Its time for some cheer!
