His dimples, how merry!<br \/>\nHis cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!<br \/>\nHis droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,<br \/>\nand the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.<br \/>\nThe stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,<br \/>\nand the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.<br \/>\nHe had a broad face and a little round belly,<br \/>\nthat shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.<\/p>\n<p>He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,<br \/>\nand I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself.<br \/>\nA wink of his eye and a twist of his head<br \/>\nsoon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.<\/p>\n<p>He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,<br \/>\nand filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.<br \/>\nAnd laying his finger aside of his nose,<br \/>\nand giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.<\/p>\n<p>He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,<br \/>\nAnd away they all flew like the down of a thistle.<br \/>\nBut I heard him exclaim, &#8216;ere he drove out of sight,<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--Creative Youth Ideas: Christmas Collection--><\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.creativeyouthideas.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/0004_underline1_big-300x15.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"5\" \/><\/center><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.creativechristmasideas.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5669\" title=\"Creative Youth Ideas: &quot;Christmas Collection&quot; ebook\" src=\"http:\/\/www.creativeyouthideas.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/christmas_ebook_arrow_sm.jpg\" alt=\"Get Creative Youth Ideas: &quot;Christmas Collection&quot; ebook\" width=\"192\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <span style=\"color: #cc0000;\"><strong><a title=\"Christmas Collection eBook\" href=\"http:\/\/www.creativechristmasideas.com\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #cc0000;\">Christmas Collection<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>Games and Activities helping youth discover the Reason for the Season.<\/strong>Get more than 200 creative ideas for planning a Youth Christmas celebration or Christmas Party party.
