It was christmas eve, not even my pet compsignathus named clover was stirring. The stockings were hung with care in hopes that Saint Velociraptor would soon be there. The children were snuggled all up in their beds while visions of dinosaurs danced in their heads. My brother and I had just climbed into our bunks when out on the lawn there arose such a racket of roars I climbed as quick as a cheetah down the rungs of my ladder. I pulled on my dino robe and looked over the balcony to see what it was.
There I saw...
St. Velociraptor and 10 dromeosauruses down on the driveway. He called out their names while giving directions. on Dasher, on Dancer, on prancer and vixen. On cupid, on comit! Rudolf show me the way! Lazer, scan the area for anything large like giganotosaurus! They flew up to the top of the house like microraptors! And there light as a raptor leaping out of a tree St. Velociraptor jumped from his little dino-sled and into the chimney.
He zoomed down like the velociraptor he is. He stuffed the stockings as quickly as a microraptor can glide, with dino claws and toy dino tooth swards.
I looked out the window to see T-rex, Dromiosaurus, Giganotosaurus and Triceritops crossing the hill toward our house! Little clover my pet compsidnathus dashed to my side and told me in dino, I think we're in trouble! I leaned over and whispered into her tiny dino ear, "Don't be so worried! I'm sure St. Velociraptor has it all under control, OK!"
Sure enough, with a wink he lept back up the chimney and called to all the dino's "It's time to put on a show!"
Suddenly all the dino's were dancing, in each their own way, even little clover, down by my feet.
Too soon it was over and off they all dashed leaving nothing but the many dino tracks in the snow.
I went back to bed where little clover curled up on my stomach as she always does and fell asleep to the sound of distant dino rawring!
