'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the CW house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a COMPUTER mouse;
The stockings were hung by the VICTORIAN STONE chimney with care,
In hopes that St. HUNTER ( CW EDITOR) would soon be there;
The children were nestled all in their VINTAGE METAL beds;
While visions of COLLECTIBLES danced in their heads;
And mamma in her PJ'S and I in my COLLECTORS SPORT BALL cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap,
When out IN INTERNET WORLD there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like HARD-DRIVE flash,
Tore open the EDWARDIAN shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-POSTED snow,
Gave a lustre of midday to ALL MY COLLECTIBLES below,
When what to my wondering OLD eyes did appear,
But a miniature ADVERTISING sleigh and eight tiny JOHN-DEERES.
As little old COLLECTOR NOT so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment he must be COLLECTORS WEEKLY St Nick.
More rapid than eagles his POSTS - - they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:

To the top of the porch! to the top of the PICTURE COVERED wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
As leaves that before A GARAGE SALE fly,
When they meet with ANOTHER COLLECTOR A CRASH IN THE sky;
So up to the housetop the coursers they flew
With A sleigh full of VINTAGE TIN toys, and St. Nicholas too—
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof --
.....And Said "" SCREW IT -- I GOING GARAGE-SALE // TREASURE HUNTING // SHOPPING !!!
