The PLURAL NOUN were nestled all snug in their PLURAL NOUN
While visions of PLURAL NOUN PAST TENSE VERB their heads

Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap
When out on the ___ there arose such a ___
I from the ___ to see what was the matter.
When, what to my wondering ___ should appear,
But a ___ sleigh, and ___ tiny ___
With a ___ old ___ So lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be ___
A bundle of ___ they had flung on their ___

Their ___ —how they twinkled! Their ___ how merry!
Their cheeks were like ___ his nose like a ___!
They had a ___ face and a little ___ belly
That shook, when they ___ like a bowlful of jelly.
They ___ not a word, but went straight to their work,
And ___ all the ___ ; then turned with a jerk,
They ___ to their ___ , to their team gave a whistle,
And away they all ___ like the down of a thistle.
But I heard them exclaim, ere they ___ out of sight,
Happy ___ to all and to all a ___ night!
