Twas the night before Christmas on all on the fields, not a creature was stirring not even Karli Haines ,
The equipment was all packed , with the hopes that spring would soon be back. ,
The girls were all nestled all snug in their beds with visions of championships running through their heads ,. With coach Paul , Coach Joe, all snug in their caps had just settled down for a long winters nap , .
When out on the field there arose such a clatter , We sprung from our beds to see what was the matter,
And then to our wallets we all flew like a flash,
tore them open quickly to get out, our Nightmare's fee's cash,
The sun on the breast on new fallen day,
Gave the feeling of softball on a new summer day,
When what to our wondering eyes should appear,
But Beth, Brooke & Sam on some tiny reindeer.,
With a little old driver so lively and quick,
I new in a moment it must be that Karissa Turk ??,
More rapid than Eagles his courses they came,
and he whistled and shouted and called them all by name,
Now ,, Talia, Allison & Sarah,
On Dani, & Sierra, you all play together now.
From the top of the inning and over the wall,
Now bash away, bash away, bash away all.,
As dry leaves before the hurricane sore,
When they meet with obstacles, Gabby & the Nightmare will roar.,
So out to the field as a team they flew,
With a bag of equipment and some cool drinks to,.
and then in a twinkle I heard near a base,
Oh man I just slid wrong and messed up my face.,
As we drew in our head and was turning around,
But there was St. Nick laying on the ground.,
He was dressed in fur from his head to his foot,
and his clothes were all tarnished with dirt, grass and soot.,
And a bundle of bats he had thrown on his back,.
He looked like a peddler just opening his sack,.
His eyes - how they twinkled, his dimples how merry,
He said I know your opponents you soon,, will bury,.
His droll little mouth was drawn like a bow,
More championships you'll win & that We know.,
The stump of his pipe he held in his teeth,
In some tournaments I know you girls, the Nightmare, you will sweep,.
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
that shook when he laughed , like a bowl full of jelly,.
He was chubby and plump, a right old jolly elf,
And NO!! ,, I'm not talking about myself,.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
let me know then, the Nightmare had nothing to dread,.
He spoke not a word but went straight to his work,.
and said Coach Paul, don't go berserk !,.
And laying his finger along side of his nose,
Said listen to Coach Joe, patience HE knows,.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team he gave a whistle,.
And to the girls on the Nightmare he said ,, I hope this will,.
Make you fight, play and believe in each other,. Merry Christmas to all, and be teammates forever,.
cause friend ships are great and feel so right,.
again MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL , AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT.
HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS and HOLIDAY SEASON!!! The Rozick's .......
