You know that creepy house?
The old one that’s haunted?
It seems a bit different now,
the frights have all halted.

The skulls and bones have all gone,
and replaced with bright lights.
The creepy facade is no more.
It's now cheerful at night!

The spooks and the specters
are all taking a rest.
Nary a shriek or a moan,
not a thing seems possessed!

It’s an odd thing to happen,
and I ponder the reason.
Surely it won’t stay this way,
It must be the season!

The phantoms will surely return
to restore all the grimness
But for now, it’s quite nice,
this peacefulness of Christmas…
