'Twas the night before Christmas at an agency where
Beloved traditions are a family affair.
The Burtons did gather for a Christmas Eve feast
Of Thai food from Surinβtwelve egg rolls at least.
While Gringotts rests 'neath the Hobbs family star,
A heartfelt reminder of a boy with a scar.
House Howard's aglow with lustrous displaysβ
Pocket-sized villagers, streets, and chalets.
St. Nick winks for the Royes ere he drives out of sight,
A memento of relatives' love and their light.
For the Martins it's oranges that in their heads dance.
No other fruit cuts it; the plums had their chance.
So before season's end and Kris Kringle takes flight,
Merry Christmas from Burton, and to all a good-night.
