Out in the parking lot, a trio of dark shadows have broken away from the Spawmobile and are huddling over by the oak tree in cold night air, hunkered downa nd muttering. Suddenly they steo back, and the crisp night is split asunder with the bright colors of...FIREWORKS!!

Big RED ones!! Wide GREEN ones!!
Yellow and blue and never-before-SEEN ones!!
Cloudbursts of sparkle that dazzle the brain!!
Mauve Roman candles that sprinkle like rain!!
Parachute sparklers and giant bright bangers!
All going off without one single clanger!!
The crtowd in the Taven is pressed to the panes,
Entranced by bright colors etched into their brains,
When the biggest, the loudest, the BRIGHTEST one yet,
takes off from the ground with a sound like a jet!!
It climbs, and it climbs, like a huge shuttle rocket!!
It hisses and sparkles like a short-circuit socket!!
Then just when it looks like its bound for far spaces,
It goes off with a bang and a BOOM in ten places!!
More crackles and fire streak out from this cracker,
And the lightworks get brighter, while the cold night gets blacker!!
Then just at the end, why it gets even better!!
A dozen small packets split off, and maike letters!!
They zoom through the sky, away up in space,
And each lands exactly in just the right place!!
Then red sparks and blue sparks and yellow and green,
Make the biggest, the BEST sign, that you've ever seen!!
In bright streaming letters, each one twelve feet high,
All colored like Rainbows, in the wintry sky,
Is a message!! A MESSAGE!! From Old Sandy Claws!!
To all of the Jens, Kats, Gargoyles and Spaws!!
As big as a COMET!! As big as a STAR!

MERRY XMAS ALL CATTERS!! WHOEVER YOU ARE!!!
