The Nightmare Before Christmas

The shadow of night had already fallen and
a cold autumn wind was blowing strongly
in Town of Halloween
A skeleton just sat down alone on the hill
He was tall and thin a bow-tie around his neck,
everyone called him Jack Skeleton
This place seemed boring to him,
because nothing new was happening here
'I've had enough of scaring people, terror and horror
of being a spine-chilling ghost
These monstrous glances are salt in my eyes
And those ghostly dances.make my legs ache
I don't like graveyards, I want something new
Such constant scaring is no fun'
 

Suddenly something moved in the grave closeby
and a spectre flew out while howling and whining
It was the ghost of a little dog with a delicate voice
And a nose that glowed in the dark, like a lantern
This was Jack's little dog, Zero, his little companion.
While Jack still pondered something over
a glum dog stood by him
 

Jack walked aimlessly in a rather unstable mood
For the rest of that night and the whole next day
Until he suddenly came across an unusual sight
somewhere deep in the forest just before dusk
A couple feet from Jack's bony feet
There were three pairs of doors carved into the tree stumps
He was dumbfounded and especially one gate caught his eye
Enchanted, moved, but uncertain of what he was doing
He opened it to a white land
 

He didn't yet know that his feet had carried him
To Town of 'Xmas' on a main road
The omnipresent glow was no punishment at all
He finally felt what he had always wanted to
Showing his friends that he's not spinning a line
He took a few presents from a nearby fireplace.
the sweets, toys, which the shelves were full of
And a photo of Santa Claus and his whole company
He took the lights, the decorations and the star
from the Christmas tree too
And he snatched a big G from the sign of
Town of 'Christmas'
He took everything that sparkled and glittered
even quite a lot.handful of snow with him straight to Halloween
No one noticed his vile deeds
 

And when he got back home he together.with
a bunch of his buddies looked at the souvenirs that he brought
Everybody was surprised by such an unusual sight
Some of them were happy, some were horrified
 

For the next few days, when it was lightning and thundering
Jack sat alone and his head was buzzing:
'Why can they bring joy and fun,
And we cause fear and have a bad reputation?
I wanna be Santa Claus and bring people joy!
Why it's him who takes a part in this every year?'
He spent a whole day thinking this issue in a huff
till he finally he came up with something: 'Sure, why not?'
 

Just when Santa was finishing getting ready
for the trip in Town of 'Xmas'
there suddenly came a gentle knock on the door
He answered it and was surprised when he saw
the strange creatures disguised strangely
They were short and pretty ugly
'Treat or trick!' they shouted:and took out the bag
Santa was quickly put into it
And taken to Jack who was behind the idea
 

The whole crew gathered in Halloween once again
Because no one had ever seen Santa here
When they were surveying a rather old gentleman
Jack revealed his plan
 

'Dear Mr. Santa, it really pisses us,
That you've been Santa all this time!
It'll be me who gives presents and joy all around
Because I will proclaim myself Santa this year
I will wish you a Merry Christmas but
You stay in my coffin or scare yourself!
But please, Santa, don't think bad of my plan
I'll try to do my job well'
 

Although everyone thought that the road wasn't winding
the most horrible Christmas was held
When they were about to set off out on Christmas Eve,
Jack harnessed the reindeer to the coffin sleigh
But when everything was ready
The fog completely obscured the whole view
 

Jack said: 'Hold it, there's fog everywhere.
There's gonna be no Christmas and Santa this year.'
Suddenly he saw a light in the thick fog
 

'What's that? Zero, it's you yeah!'
'Zero, with that shining nose lead the sleigh,
we'll follow your voice.' Jack said
Zero finally felt that they saw his worth
And he was happy to head the family
When a reindeer team shot off
Jack shouted: “It’s Christmas,
so Merry Christmas everybody!”
 

It was like a Christmas nightmare
Even the mouse under the broom had no illusions
There were socks filled with presents hanging by the fireplace,
But this time what there was inside of them was scarry!
The good kids who slept in their beds now
dreamed about ghosts, monsters and witches.
 

The moon hanging over the fresh snow
created an atmosphere that was simply terrifying
Santa’s laughter now sounded like groans,
And the sound of bells like bones in the hand…
When people looked up in amazement
They saw a skeleton and a coffin cart
The one who drove it was so hideous
That people knew: “He’s no Santa at all!”
 

From house to house, with a smile on his face,
Jack gave everyone presents.
He jumped from roof to roof, sauntered
while delivering gifts straight from the graveyard!
Unaware of the fear he aroused in people,
Jack continued to bring joy in his own way
He dropped in on Susie and Dave in their home nest,
They got deathlike mascots
He also visited Jane, when it was her turn
She got a doll possessed by the devil
A giant train with tentacle tracks,
A ghoulish puppet fighting with axes,
A bloodthirsty plant arranged in a wreath,
And a vampire teddy bear with its jaws bared
 

Folks were afraid of him, but Jack never knew about it
he felt the spirit of Christmas instead!
At last when he decided to cast his gaze to the ground
He saw a multitude of lights, noise and commotion.
'They are celebrating there and having a good time!
They thank me for this and praise my name.'
But these were not fires for fun,
But shells and bullets that were meant to kill
Amidst this din and whistling shells
Jack urged Zero not to fly low
Even if they rose up high to the clouds
But a bullet hit them in the end
When they fell down the graveyard, away from the noise,
'Merry Christmas!' cry came to them from behind the forest
 

Jack gathered up his bones, sat down by the tombstone
And made a summary of his losses:
'I wanted to be Santa, I had such faith!'
Jack was devastated, filled with regret.
He just looked up not knowing what to do,
He sank onto the grave and cried a river
 

Jack and Zero were lying on the ground together,
When suddenly they heard a familiar voice:
“Dear Jack,” said Santa, “I know you meant well.
and it wasn't your intention to make a fuss
That’s why you feel sorry and are glum
Taking over Christmas was a bad deed.
You’d be much better off taking care of Halloween
There's something else I'd like to tell you
But I'm pressed for time 'cause it’s Christmas after all.”
He quickly jumped onto the sleigh, then shouting “Merry Christmas!” disappeared out of view with a twinkle in his eye
 

Jack sadness didn’t last long, because he deduced that Santa rolled up Town of Halloween with Christmas
