Characters on Christmas's Crepuscule

Tinsel tots toppled by the thought of teeming treasures

All ardent attention attracted to an aching anticipation

Mother marches to make munchkins' merry minds motionless

As father faithfully fastens fleece upon their feet

Gleaming gazes grappling to greaten grow to a glint grain

The shavers soundly sleep in the shanty safeguarded by sentimental sanctity

As parents perseveringly push to provide plentiful presents on pittance

Whistling winsomely while wearingly working for a worthy winter windfall
