A michigan night before christmas - norma lewis

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the halls Theres just one little problem: Bears sleep through it all.

So, Yooper sets an alarm and he wakes up all right.

When his parents ask why he says, Because Santa comes tonight! Yooper the bear wants to see Santa face to face.

Theres just one little problem: Bears sleep through Christmas.

Yooper gets around the problem by waking everyone up a few months early.

Papa isnt one bit happy, and tells him Santa doesnt visit bears.

Ever! But Yooper remains hopeful.

He knows hes been a good cub all year - well, except for that alarm clock - but hey, you cant blame a guy for trying.

Santa must have received Yoopers letter, because when he gets to Michigans Upper Peninsula he adds one more stop to his itinerary.

Yes! In the end, even Papa is a believer!.
