Read to the rhythm of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" poem by Clement Clarke Moore
 
'Twas the night before Christmas 
all shared a warm vibe.
 Not a creature was stirring, 
not even a Sibe.
 
The stockings were hung 
on the stair rail with care,
In hopes that Santa Paws
 soon would be there.
 
The Huskies were nestled
 all snug in their beds,
While visions of cookies
 danced in their heads.
 
With Harley on her blanket, 
and Gib on my lap,
My pups settled down 
for a long winter's nap.
 
When out on the deck
there arose such a clatter,
Together the Sibes wooed,
"Oh, what is the matter?"
 
As their ears all perked up
they sniffed out a cause,
When who should appear?
Why yes, Santa Paws!
 
A bundle of gifts
 he had flung on his back,
As he swiftly left squeak toys
 for all five in the pack.
 
He spoke not a word, 
but went straight to his big bag,
He filled all their stockings; 
as five tails began to wag.
 
With a smile on his face 
he called to each pup, 
Then pulled out some cookies
for which they jumped up. 
 
The jolly ol' elf
chuckled and danced
While brushing off Husky fur
from his red velvet pants.

"Oh, Harley and Gibson, 
and Wolfie, too,
and Bandit and Chloe, 
I love when you woo!"
 
When he leaned down to pet them
he tapped Harley’s nose.
And with a twinkle in his eye
up the skylight he rose.
 
But we heard him exclaim, 
before he took flight,
"Merry Christmas, FiveSibes, 
and to all a good night!"

Our FiveSibes (Gibson, Harley, Wolfie, Chloe, and Bandit) stockings, plus kitties Binx's & Smokie's stockings hung on our stair rail.

Woo! Thanks, Santa, for letting us 
guide your sleigh!
