Storytime Day 24: Twas the Nightcap before Christmas



In this parody of the much-loved Christmas poem, things get a little anarchic when mom and dad drink a little more than one festive tipple and it is up to Santa Claus to save the day.

- Story Exerpts -

"T'was the nightcap before Christmas
That caused mischief and mayhem
and Mom wearing stockings
when she should have been filling them..."
Dad suggests a sherry 'To keep us both going',
 in the cozy front room with the firelight glowing ...

Then out comes the Baileys. And mum hits the rum. Hours of merriment and a stocking-clad tango later, they drift off to sleep - the living room in disarray, the presents unwrapped and their careful Christmas preparations in ruins. But come morning it seems a mysterious visitor has saved the day .



"Twas the Nightcap Before Christmas" by Katie Blackburn, Sholto Walker (Illustrator)
