Many years ago, my mom, Elaine Bialick Rothleder Estep, wrote a column for a 
local paper in Montgomery County, MD.  It was called Pet-Poperee, or something 
like that.
   
  For her Christmas article one year she wrote the following, and we have kept 
it with us all these years.
   
  I hope you will enjoy it.  Let Elaine know that you like it at

  ?Twas the night before Christmas
  And all of the dog
  Were asleep in their kennels
  Like big furry logs
   
  They knew not the meaning 
  Of the lights in the trees
  They knew not of carols
  Or doors decked with wreaths
   
  The ears of one pup
  Perked up at the sound
  Of hoofbeats and bootsteps
  On snow-covered ground
   
  His ears caught a noise, 
  His nose found a scent
  Someone strange coming near
  A jolly, old gent
   
  A mysterious man
  All dressed in red
  With a funny hat
  On his bearded head
  And though I?ve not met him
  Before this cold night
  I know he?s a friend 
  Not someone to bite
   
  He opened my pen 
  And scratches my ear
  He gives me a bone
  And a rubber reindeer
   
  He says I?m a good boy
  And a beautiful pup!
  And I?ll be a great winner
  When I really grow up
   
  He goes on to the next pen
  And says ?Hi? to my mother
  Then goes over to see
  My father and brother
   
  On one of the toys 
  I started to lick
  On the spot where the tag said
  ?To you from Stain Nick?
   
  I know that my master
  Has nothing so fine
  As this nighttime 
  Visitor of mine
   
  Because if he did
  He?d never agree
  To let him near
  A mere dog like me
   
  And so I bed down in circles
  And make myself snug
  To think of Stain Nick
  And his warm Christmas hug.
