How the CHIROPRACTOR saved Christmas!!
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that st. Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads
And mamma in her kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow.
Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tinny reindeer.
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be st. nick
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!
“Now Dasher! Now Dancer! Now Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On Cupid! On Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! To the Top of the wall!
Now Dash away! Dash away! Dash Away All!

As Dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
so up to the house top the coursers they flew,
with the sleigh full of toys, and st. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney, st. Nicholas came with a bound.
When a sudden shreak of pain came from his mouth,
He mustered, “Ow, me thinks me threw me back outh!”
As he limped forward, trying to muster up cheer,
I helped him walk and said,”Don’t worry st nick, have no fear!”
“for I am a chiropractor and I’ve got the magic hand”
“now just be quiet sir, and please don’t try to stand.”
Before he knew it, I layed him down on my table of healing,
All of a sudden with a sound of a pop, he started feeling.
“You’re all better now!” is all that I had to say,
And with that, he leaped up from the table and went on his way,
He spoke up and said, “you sir are a great man,
For without you……. Christmas would have been in the can!”
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
“happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night”
