'Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the Shire Not a hobbit was stirring, not even a squire The ring was hid on the mantle with care In hopes that Gandalf would soon be there Then what to Frodo's eyes should appear A figure on horseback, A dark cavalier Dressed all in black from his feet to his skull He knew in a moment It was a Nazgul More rapid than eagles the others they came they call "To Mordor," and they called him by name Back to the hobbithole Frodo soon flew with Sting in his hand, and the golden ring too Through the hole it came with a step and a hiss It was dressed in the robes of Mordor's abyss It spoke not a word And went straight to its work It filled Frodo's stockings and turned with a jerk The Nazgul looked at Frodo and took a moment to pause before removing his hood it was Santa Claus! The hobbit, he smiled What a glorius sight That Nazgul was Santa on this good Christmas night
