1. ‘Twas the night before Christmas at FFRC.
When Zelda saw boxes under the tree!

2. Oh how she loves boxes. She must see
what’s in there!
But Putter deterred her with his warning
glare.

3. Octavia said ‚meet me in ‘Tonio’s Den.‛
‚We’ll plan it out better and try it again.‛

4. Kiara said ‚Listen! I think I know how.‛
So they all met in ‘Tonio’s and she showed
them how!

5. ‚We can leap to the top and climb down the
tree.
We will be on the inside where Putter can’t
see.‛

6. ‚Now Walter! Now, Zelda! Now, Dove and lorenzo!
Jump, Merri! jump Farrah, jump Ming and Derecho!
To the top of the tree! To the top of it all!‛
‚Now climb straight down! Climb straight down,
Climb straight down all!‛

7. So Putter won’t hear them,
some cats ran the wheel.

8. Then Bella joined in.
All those boxes to steal!

9. Now Putter awoke and checked out the tree.
‚I see what you’re doing.‛ ‚Now come out to
me!‛

10. Farrah cried ‚please Putter.‛
‚this gift is so fun!‛

11. Putter said ‚out now!‛
‚Your fun is all done!‛
