Not a Samsung was stirring not even a twelve-nine.
The iPhones were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Steven soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug with their phones,
Had just settled down to play with our crack.
When out on the lawn there arose such a chatter,
I threw down my smartphone and sought out my fatter.
Away to the window I brought out my flash.
Tore open the shutters and threw out the Dash.
The tune in my breast as the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects that GO.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear
I knew in a moment he must have been snoogled.
And he whistled and shouted, and called them ituned!
To the top of Redmond! to the top of Mountain View!
As dry leaves that before the wild tornado fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew
With a sleigh full of Toys, and St. Steven too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The ringtones and vibrations of each little hoof
As I drew in my head, and was churning around,
Down the chimney St. Steven came with an iphone.
He was dressed all in denim, from his head to his foot,
A bundle of Ipods he had flung on his back
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
