Muffin Tin Monday- ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas

By

 
 

Today’s tin is bassed on Kat Whelan’s version of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. In this version the characters are all mice. The illustrations are filled with whimsy and actually sparkle on the pages.
The tin was so cute as I prepared it and served it to JDaniel. It wasn’t until he had inhaled it that I realized the picture I had taken was awful. The foot of the stocking isn’t displayed and the reindeer are fuzzy.

 

 

Instead of trying to remake the meal, I have decided to describe the tin with a lot of humor and make the best of it.
Here is my tale:

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a Swiss Cheese mouse;

The red apple stocking was hung without notice or care. (The mouse had not seen that it had way too much worn.)

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

The children have nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;

And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,

Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap,

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window, I flew like a flash,

Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow that was really a flake made of sugar cookie dough.

 

When what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature sleigh, and three fuzzy chicken nugget reindeer.

 

JDaniel wished he could spring to his sleigh and to his team gave a whistle.

 

He was glad mom hadn’t tried to feed him a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ere he finished his last bite,

“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.”
