An attendance of STR Nicholas
Yes, it is indeed the time of year when people everywhere long to return to grand old holiday traditions. And what holiday tradition could be grander than The Babelfished Christmas Poem? This one's an old favorite of mine, a beloved holiday treat translated from English to German and back again. (It is entirely possible that Babelfish would produce a different result now than it did when it gave us this gem in 1999, but who cares?) Enjoy!
An attendance of STR Nicholas
' Twas the night before Christmas, when by the house a creature did not agitate itself completely, a mouse do not smooth; The socks were hung by the fire-place with Obacht, in hopes that STR would be Nicholas there soon;
The children nest LED quite comfortably in their beds, while sights of the sugar plums danced into their headings; And mamma in their ' kerchief and I in my protective cap, had agreed upon even down for the hair of a long winter,
When on the lawn such developed out a Geklapper, I rose from the bed, in order to see, what the material was. Away to the Window I flew like lightning, tore opened the shutters up violently and threw up sash.
The moon on the chest of the again-pleased snow gave the gloss of the at noon to the messages down, if, which to my miracles eyes should appear, but a Minisleigh and a small Ren eight,
With a small old driver thus lively and fast, I knew in one moment, which must be it STR cut. Faster than eagles its coursers came it, and it whistled and cried and designated it in particular;
" now, the ago! now DANCERS! now PRANCER and VIXEN! Up, comet! on CUPID! up, DONDER and LIGHTNINGS! To the top side of the portal! to the top side of the wall! Now hyphen away! Hyphen away! Hyphen away all! ",
When dry pages, which before the wild hurricane fly, if they meet an obstacle, installing to the sky, so up to the house top side coursers, which they flew, with sleigh fully of the play goods and of STR Nicholas also.
And then, in one twin-sound, heard I on the roof the Prancing and the Pawing of each small hoof. While I drew into my hand and turned me around, down the fire-place STR came Nicholas with a boundary.
It became everything in the fur, by its heading its foot geklitten, and its clothes were clouded all with ash and soot; A bundle of play goods, which it had back hurled on its, and it looked like an even opening of the hausierers its record.
Its eyes -- like it twinkled! its gruebchen, how merrily! Its cheeks were like Roses, its Wekzeugspritze like a cherry! Its droll small opening was ausgearbeitt like an elbow, and the beard of its chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe, which it stopped firmly in its teeth and which circled smoke it its heading like a Wreath; It had an expanded face and a small round antinode bulge, which shook, when it laughed like bowlful the jelly.
It was stout chubby and, a right merry old eleven and I laughed, when I saw it, despite me; A sign of its eye and the torsion of its heading, gave me soon to be afraid in order to know that I did not have anything;
He spoke not a word, but went even to its work and filled all socks; then turned with a jerk and aside put its finger of its Wekzeugspritze rose to giving a heading nodding and, up the fire-place he;
It rose to its sleigh, gave its team whistles, and away all flew it like that downward thistle. But I heard it, ere it from sight propelled to proclaim " LUCKY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT! ",

The sugar plum inside their head martial Haess but, the children the whole built a nest time cozily inside their bed. And inside her ' well! r U f the I only long winter nap settled the hazard our brain inside the Mama, and my hat.
At the outside in the roof from that place that clatteringly it is same distance when sound happening, the situation in order to see being me bounced from my bed. Far in the window I, flash day, tore the shutter which is being opened, with the high piece the window frame i threw.
It appeared and, but small size sleigh and 8 work in the reindeer my wondering eye what, new Rob month on lower part, time gave the luster of noon to aim in the breast of the eye which falls.
Work long in the driver who becomes, is like that and when it slants and quickly, me was and the Nick it was being inside the moment when it does. Was quicker the eagle than, his coursers it came, he them whistled with name and he shouted and he called,:
"Now the Dasher! Now the dancer! Now, the Prancer and the Vixen! Comet! Queue Pis! Donner and Blitzen! In normality of entrance! In normality of wall! Now rushing which is falling! Far rushing! Rush far all! "
To be wild and to be like this on the front of the typhoon the day the leaf which it constructs, when meeting an obstacle, until the roof in the sleigh where the toy which to sky flies at the mountain and the Nicholas is sufficient the coursers, too much.
And that time, inside glittering, me the angle the small hoof it hopped in the roof and it came and went and the pawing and it listened to. It went out and it was stimulated there was and inside my head and to a circumference Iss Uss time, the chimney lower part Nicholas came to guard.
Him inside the fur all, from his head it puts on the cloth in his foot, his cloth damaged in all re-and the soot. The bundle of the toy which he in his thing throws after, he the peddler reports the opening to traffic his pack which is legitimate.
-- them glittered to peel, as his eye! The cheerful was, his dimple,! His cheek was the rose and the cherry together his nose together,! His Ig flesh it is and is small and the bow which it puts on it was drawn up, the beard was eye white in his chin. The smoke which besieges the anger exchange his head and him inside his this single stage kacikoiss the stump of the tube. Enough him there is a wide face and when he laughs, is small and the belly which is round, the bowl of that and the jelly which shakes.
He went out and under the tube tube wrong in spite of even in the ball or oneself time, he laughed the n which will get bulky, the right side it is pleasant and long the tiny person fairy and the B which become. Twist of wink and his head of his eye me fearing the egg it will respect the fact that it does not have anything and it will carry quickly and it gave.
He but exactly rightly at his day, all stockings,, in that time convulsion talked the word which is not, he went he filled he went round. And the silver it put aside his finger of his nose and it put, the chimney kku it was a virtue, to give with the high piece and he happened.
He bounced in his sleigh, he gave an evenness to his team, them flew all Ung Gung khwi lower part far together. Before the l which he will drive but from the spectacle me he, ' the fact that it will exclaim, "all and it is all happy and khu li su E su it sleeps well,! "
