Just a little joke surprise for Bran from last Christmas! (I'm posting this now so that all of my weird writings can be found in one place.)
The
Night Before Crumb-Mas
It was
the night before Christmas, and all through our bed.
Not a
cutie was stirring. Not even a bread.
Just
kidding. How could that possibly be true?
Certainly
not with rambunctious little Crout.
For
you see, our little breads had big plans in store.
They
had lots to do before our feet hit the floor!
Breads
like to cuddle, but they’re adventurous too.
At
night they explore after cuddling is through!
On
Christmas Eve, they found themselves at the North Pole...
Where
they learned Santa needed their help to make Christmas whole.
You
see, Rudolph had come down with a horrible cold.
Of
course, Santa needn’t ask Crumb and Crout to be bold!
Our
favorite little guys knew just what to do.
They would
lead the way- those brave bread two!
With
the help of their bread magic, of course they could fly.
But
while Crouton Electron-ed about, Crumb gasped a loud sigh.
Without
a bright nose, how could they help?
Crumb
realized this and started to yelp!
“Santa,
we’re not Rudolph. How can we light the way?”
“We’re
worried we can’t help you save Christmas day!”
But
Santa replied, “don’t you worry, my dears.”
“Your
light will shine brightly from right in here.”
Pointing
to their hearts, Santa gave a bright smile.
To
understand what he meant, it only took a short while.
Their
loving mommy and daddy had taught them so much.
About
how to be caring and to share a thoughtful touch.
Once
Crumb and Crout believed in their power, their light began to shine.
Some
may call it fate, others, just a sign.
But with
their magic and light, they helped Santa deliver all the toys.
They
even had time to cuddle with some of the nicest girls and boys!
Right
before dawn, Santa reminded them of what’s true.
“Believe
in yourself, cuties, and there’s nothing you can’t do!”
The
two would have never thought they had a secret gift.
But
when they were needed, they had felt a lift.
The
two breads snuck back home before anyone was up.
Only
to find the Grinch drinking hot cocoa from a green cup!
The
two gasped with glee; could this possibly be real?
The Grinch
was right there just like a snorfblazzle surcheal!
The
Grinch let out a hee-haw and cackled with glee.
Right
before using his magic to go up the chimney!
“Wait!”
Crouton cried, wanting more time.
But
the Grinch was gone at the drop of a dime.
When
their mommy and daddy awoke to see what was the matter,
Crumb
and Crout snuck into bed, without making a clatter.
The
two breads looked at each other in astonishment and awe.
This
was already the very best Christmas of all!
