Falling,
Falling,
Falling frozen tears
For the night that lives overhead
Dotted by stars in the trees
Comes ever closer
Live-twinkling
Rapid motions

Great rulers at work
To find their life force
Which looks for Christmas trees

Eyes of eight
Light in a row,
The sharing of riches

A blanket all around
A hunt for many
A chase for all
December, December
Save your joy
For all

What was Christmas like in Alaska during the late Creataceous? Well, this is one way it could have played out.
