Whereas, on or about the night prior to Christmas, there did occur at
a certain improved piece of real property (hereinafter "the House")
a general lack of stirring by all creatures, therein, including but not
limited to a mouse.
A variety of foot apparel, e.g. stocking, socks, etc., had been affixed
by and around the chimney in said House in the hope and/or belief that
St. Nick a/k/a St. Nicholas a/k/a Santa Claus (hereinafter "Claus")
would arrive at sometime thereafter.
The minor residents, i.e. the children, of the aforementioned House were
located in their individual beds and were engaged in nocturnal hallucinations,
i.e. dreams, wherein visions of confectionery treats, including, but not
limited to, candies, nuts and/or sugar plums, did dance, cavort and otherwise
appear in said dreams.
Whereupon the party of the first part (sometimes hereinafter referred
to as "I"), being joint-owner in fee simple of the House with
parts of the second part (hereinafter "Mamma"), and said Mamma
has retired for a sustained period of sleep. (At such time, the parties
were clad in various forms of headgear, e.g. kerchief and cap.)
Suddenly, and without prior notice or warning, there did occur upon the
unimproved real property adjacent and appurtenant to said House, i.e.
the lawn, a certain disruption of unknown nature, cause and/or circumstance.
The party of the first party did immediately rush to a window in the House
to investigate the cause of such disturbance.
At that time, the party of the first part did observe, with some degree
of wonder and/or disbelief, a miniature sleigh (hereinafter the "Vehicle")
being pulled and/or drawn very rapidly through the air by approximately
eight (8) reindeer. The driver of the Vehicle appeared to be and in fact
was, the previously referenced Claus.
Said Claus was providing specific direction, instruction and guidance
to the approximately eight (8) reindeer and specifically identified the
animal co-conspirators by name: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet,
Cupid, Donner and Blitzen (hereinafter "the Deer"). (Upon information
and belief, it is further asserted that an additional co-conspirator named
Rudolph may have been involved.)
The party of the first part witnesses Claus, the Vehicle and the Deer
intentionally and willfully trespass upon the roofs of several residents
located adjacent to and in the vicinity of the House, and noted that the
Vehicle was heavily laden with packages, toys, and other items of unknown
origin or nature. Suddenly, without prior invitation or permission, either
express or implied, the Vehicle arrived at the House, and Claus entered
said House via the chimney.
Said Claus was clad in a red suit, which was partially covered with residue
from the chimney, and he carried a large sack contained a portion of the
aforementioned packages, toys, and other unknown items. He was smoking
what appeared to be tobacco in a small pipe in blatant violation of local
ordinances and health regulations.
Claus did not speak, but immediately began to fill the stockings of the
minor children, which hung adjacent to the chimney, with toys and other
small gifts. (Said items did not, however, constitute "gifts"
to said minor pursuant to the applicable provisions of the U.S. Tax Code.)
Upon completion of such task, Claus touched the side of his nose and
flew, rose and/or ascended up the chimney of the House to the roof where
the Vehicle and the Deer waited and/or served as "lookouts."
Claus immediately departed for an unknown destination.
However, prior to the departure of the Vehicle, the Deer and Claus from
said House, the party of the first part did hear Claus state and/or exclaim:
"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!" Or words to
that effect.
