Ecru Christmas Carol

'Twas the night before Christmas, All of Ecru was violent
All the creatures were stirring, and not one of them silent;

Aria Cheylon who was weary from war, looked up from afar
to the sky in the east and beheld her first Christmas star;

Longing for Earth she finished her battle, the war had been won
so she took to her saddle. As she dashed away home, relieved to be done;
A feeling of emptiness loomed in her heart that she couldn't out run;
When all of a sudden, she realized what was the matter;
It was Christmas Eve and there was no Christmas clatter;

She was stranded on this planet without Christmas or care,
or even the hopes that St. Nicholas would visit her there:
As she nestled down snug, all tight in her bed wrap;
Kija's pet woggle was dancing near the floor mat.

Already disheveled from sleep her demeanor was scattered ;
The animal awoke her and her look was not something that flattered.

She straightened her hair when suddenly an idea arose;
she looked at her crystal glowing and threw on her clothes.
Away to a sandy spot on the cave floor she did fly;
Shoving her crystal pendant in the sand she held her head high;
Its light flahsed through the room like the sun in the sky.
As the sand swirled and glowed the crystal did toil;
Aria's mind imagined something that would glisten like foil.

To her enjoyment there came from the light's band;
a shining Christmas tree sculpture all made out of sand;
It's shape may have been crude but it didn't need a stand.
All it needed was some imagination and a little helping hand.

As she looked and admired her glistening sand tree with care;
Kija arrived only to look at it with a curious stare.
As he examined the tree he just couldn't understand;
What is this thing and why would it be her Christmas demand?
Aria just laughed and with a story she did tell;
The true meaning of Christmas as it began with a baby who did well.

As Aria told him the true meaning of Christmas, he acted a bit coy ;
but as she finished his heart soon swelled up with joy.
He dashed from the cave only to gaze up in the air;
and indeed he saw that the Christmas star was most fair.

As he gazed upon this star his heart filled with great light;
so much to the point that his feet would take flight.
He ran to tell of Christmas and this magnificent sight;
and the baby that started it all long long ago on a cold winter's night.


Merry Christmas
