Twas Two Weeks Before Christmas - Ackerman Style



'Twas two weeks before Christmas and all through the Ackerman mansion every one was stirring, even Harm with his well hidden charm. The stockings were hung throughout the whole house because let's face it, there's a ton of people in the place. The 'grown' children were far from nestled as they scurried through the training center with visions of warm showers in their heads. And Mama in her Camo... Oh wait... No mamas yet, but in a few months, then we'll see. But I digress.....
When out on the roof there arose such a clatter that every armed guard spring into action to see what was the matter. Away to the window Fawn flew like a flash, tore open the curtain, and pressed her nose to the glass.
The sun on the snow gave a blinding glare but the little girl didn't care. As her vision focused she blinked to see Hannah, Spade, and Nick using their powers quick, quick, quick. There before her arose from the ground eight tiny reindeer that made not a sound.... Because they weren't real but they sure looked it. And right behind them were the sled with what had to be the likeness of St. Nick. Not her 'uncle' 'cause Aunt Hannah said he was definitely no saint but you get what I mean. As they places the figures secularly on the roof Fawn laughed hearing Spade shout from below, when he spotted her,
"Now Dasher! Now Dancer! Now Prancer and Vixen! On Comet! On Cupid! On Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the roof you all must go for Fawn to see from below!"
