"NOW BESSIE! NOW, BILLY! NOW, BINGO! NOW, CHICKIE!
On, Lambsy! On, Trigger! On, Quacker and Piggy!"
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
Up, up, Santa Claus and those animals rose.

Notice something a little different? Well, in this hilarious retelling of the iconic Clement C. Moore Christmas poem, it's a barnyard full of
mischievous, quarrelsome livestock that gets Santa and his sleigh off the ground this Christmas Eve. With a little ingenuity, a few balloons, and a lot of attitude, they give Santa a Christmas Eve he'll never forget!
