Fiona from the Danger Magnet site sent this over. Her friend Gracie wrote it.
‘Twas the night before Christmas in the house of Cullen,
All were quite busy, no one was sullen.
Emmet downed a pine with just one blow,
Which Alice had decorated so grand, don’t you know!
Only one stocking was hung up tonight,
For a child named Renesmee, who squealed with delight!
For this celebration was made for one cause;
The arrival of none other than Santa Claus.
Back at the cottage, with paper and bows, Bella wrapped presents for Nessie…with Rose.
Delighted, that now, they were sisters, so dear;
It’s amazing what happened in just one short year.
Charlie and Sue, engaged, now, to marry,
Were also quite busy, no time to tarry.
Charlie cursed quietly under his breath.
They still couldn’t leave. Where were Leah and Seth?
When, finally, Sue’s two kids did arrive,
With the car fully loaded, they pulled out of the drive.
It seemed kind of silly to leave break of dawn,
But he wouldn’t argue, no, not Charlie Swan.
Carlisle and Esme were cooking up stuff,
But with werewolves coming, would there be quite enough!
Folks soon would arrive, but one thing to do first;
Go on a hunt to make sure there’s no thirst.
Alice could see that they still had one hour,
Which was plenty of time for some deer to devour.
Edward drove up with wrapped presents galore,
Brought some in the house, then went back for more.
“This time,” he thought, “she’ll accept what I give…
She’s my Bella, my wife, for as long as we live.”
On the back porch, Nessie did what she oughta,
For the reindeer, she put a big bowl of water.
Next to the tree, on a cloth made of silk,
For Santa, some cookies and a tall glass of milk.
Candles were lit and the tables were set
For a Christmas morning none would forget.
The music was playing. There were lights on the trees.
The house would be found with the greatest of ease.
The guests were arriving. All Cullens were there
To greet their new friends and wish holiday cheer.
People were laughing and eating the food.
Even Leah was in a good mood.
If one looked at Jasper, they’d see a broad smile;
He’d keep Leah happy, at least for awhile!
Only one person seemed very sad.
Renesmee said, “Mama, I must have been bad.
Santa should be here, but where is his sled?
Has he gone to see other children instead?”
“Hey, Renesmee,” said Emmet, “what’s all that noise?
Could that be Santa Claus, bringing you toys?”
Nessie ran to the window. All talking did pause.
For there in the yard was dear old Santa Claus.
Instead of reindeer, eight wolves pulled the sled.
By a ninth wolf, in front, the others were led.
“It’s Rudolph, Mama!” and Bella smiled back.
For the wolf, with the red nose, was Jacob Black.
With tears in her eyes, she thought, “Oh, that boy!
He’d do just about anything to bring Nessie joy.”
Suddenly, Santa was gone…that was weird.
He was now in the house with red suit and beard.
His eyes, how they twinkled. He carried a sack.
If you looked very closely, you’d see Billy Black.
Then Paul and Embry and others were there.
Soon, Quil arrived, carrying Clare.
It was a time full of happiness…no one was sad.
A celebration that good triumphed bad.
A time to put old issues to rest,
As each saw the other for their very best.
Then, Carlisle and Billy looked very mysterious.
“We have something to say, and it’s really quite serious.
Loyalty proven…It wasn’t an act.
And the time is right for a brand new pact.
Quileutes and Cullens exist hand in hand,
Free to walk on the other’s land.
If ever we’re threatened, with death, by others,
We’ll all stand together…sisters and brothers.”
With emotion filled comments and tears in some eyes,
People were hugging and saying goodbyes.
Cars, loaded with gifts, food, and holiday cheer,
All promised to be on hand next year.
“Renesmee is snoring, so we’d better go;
But Carlisle and Esme, I want you to know
I love you so much.” Bella said, so sincere.
“Before we go, let me make this quite clear.
The decision to change was mine from the start,
No need for another…your son IS my heart.”
Hands clasped together, Bella and Ed
Carried Nessie home, and put her to bed
“She’s perfect,” he said, “but then, so are you.
Who would have guessed, after all I’ve been through,
That I would have love and a life filled with bliss.”
Then he hugged her and gave her the most tender kiss.
Of course, there was more…’twas a night full of passion.
But, I’ll tell you the rest in Stephenie fashion.
The love that they shared was honest and true.
Having said that, MERRY CHRISTMAS to you!
Love and hugs to all of you…Gracie

Aaaw, thanks so much for this;
it was amazing ^^
I still have to write some poems myself, for a Christmas/Sinterklaas evening with my family; and I’ve said to everyone I would write one about Twilight, but I don’t think I could top this one xD
(Sinterklaas is a Dutch holiday; it’s supposed to be held at Dec 5th, but my family decided to combine it with Christmas this year – anyway, I have to write a poem for every present I’m going to give xD)

LOL i was waiting for Jacob to come out while reading the first part of the story… and still, he wasn’t there.

That was beautiful. I cried. Bravo girl I know how hard that was.
Very well done! Who would have thought that a family of vampires could inspire a Christmas poem?
Congratulations to the author!
Thanks…Merry Christmas! Gracie Wynn
(tear) THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL! (snift, snift)
This was great! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Gracie! That was so sweet of you. It made me feel like I, too, was an extended member of the Cullen Clan visiting for Christmas. Only a true fan of the Saga would have known what to get me for Christmas and the best part was that it was hand made and heartfelt. Lots of love right back at cha’!
Thanks so much for sharing this!
Wow, that was just amazing, I’m so glad that I got to read that….:) Merry Christmas Twilight Fans..
Wow! Thanks for sharing this. Very well written! Merry Christmas!
very very cute i liked it very much
This was beautiful and so nice to get a Cullen style Christmas, thanks Gracie. Merry Christmas everyone.xxxxx
that was really creative. i loved it, especially the part with santa!!
Gracie, don’t get me wrong, it is a beautifully written poem, and I give you kudos! Amazing.
The only reason I said that because I’m a sucker for the female Vampires in the series, and I just wish people would show their capabilities more =)
But as I said before, I loved them poem! You should do one for all of the public holidays XD
I’ll keep that in mind…I love constructive criticism…it was an honest observation…maybe the time is right for Rosalie and Esme to kick a little butt. We have seen Alice decapitate James. Such unpleasant topics this time of the year! Happy holidays…Gracie
Aww so sweet, I love it ^.^
