Going Home

Ah, ah, ah, don't turn that dial. This is the right station if you want to hear about Jonathan Thomas and his Christmas on the moon. It was a cold winter's night and time to retire.

And Santa Claus sat before his warm fire. He said to himself, well, I made that nice sled that I promised to Johnny. And I painted it red. And I fixed up that train to make it run steady.

The dolls are finished. I think I'm most ready. He heaved a great sigh and said, I'll take a nap. And just then on the door there came a loud rap towards the wicked, sweet Bobblims who hate Christmas cheer.

And they said to Santa, we'll fix you with a cheer. So they tied him up tight. We made a good fight and carried him off through the cold dark night. Now Jonathan Thomas, who's a wee little lad, heard what had happened, and he felt very sad.

He said, I'll find Santa with the help of course of the man in the moon and Gorgon's all of the horse. And the three started out on their perilous way to find Santa Claus before Christmas day.

Well, you'd be surprised how much trouble they've had, what with giants and goblins and things that are bad. And the wickedest kind of a wicked old witch who rules or a land called Rumpelstitch has done her best with her terrible magic to make the end of this story tragic.

But the good very queen has kept them from harm. For whatever happens, she knows the right charm, and I have had faith that the three would succeed, because you can't make mistakes when you do a good deed.
