Twas the night before Christmas, and the evening was near.
The Knights of Columbus luminaries were standing by, it was clear.
But who would turn out to light them? I asked to myself.
When there appeared to me, a group of little people gathered around God’s house.
I asked them and their fathers, and some mothers too,
If they knew about lights and batteries and what they should do,
And all of them were acquainted with the basic technology
Even the littlest ones, who would have known?
With the help of their parents around the church, they scampered and scattered
Until every last light was turned on with their tiny fingers flicking the switches.
So when the Mass was over, our parishioners saw
All the luminaries beaming light into the night.
Merry Christmas to all
And to all a good night!
