================================================<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

T`was the day before Christmas, but there was no cheer.<\/p>\n

No jingle bells jingled, no sound of reindeer.
\nThe word had got out that Santa was sick.
\nThere`d be no friendly visit from jolly St. Nick.<\/p>\n

The people were sad; no gaiety sounded.
\nFor Christmas had come, but Santa was grounded.
\nHe walked down the street, and what should he see?
\nOn a small sign was printed, Chiropractor, D.C.<\/p>\n

Now, Santa was not one to like a new tactic,
\nBut all else had failed, so he`d try Chiropractic.
\nHe entered the office and saw at a glance
\nIn a place such as this illness hasn`t a chance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For all were smiling; the music was snappy,
\nWith all the patients contented and happy.
\nIn a very short time, to judge by the clock,
\nHe was in the adjusting room, talking to Doc.<\/p>\n

“It must be the hurry, the tension and all.
\nI simply can`t seem to get on the ball.
\nLife used to be easy, just toys, guns and whistles
\nNow I have to dodge jumbo jets, space ships and missiles.”<\/p>\n

“And Doc, take a look at the size of this pack!
\nHave you any idea what it does to my back?”
\nPoor Santa was miserable; just barely able
\nWith the help of the doctor, to get to the table.<\/p>\n

The doctor was gentle. Without fuss or tussle
\nHe examined the vertebrae and relaxed the muscles.
\nHe spotted the trouble, and then with a click,
\nStarted aligning the ailing St. Nick.<\/p>\n

And Santa felt aches and pains slipping away.
\n\u201cI feel much better\u201d he was heard to say.
\nThe air was a tingle with a new fallen snow.
\nAnd a healthy Kris Kringle was rarin` to go.<\/p>\n

As he went out the door, he threw all a kiss.
\nWhy, it has been centuries since he`d felt as good as this!
\nThen once more he shouldered the bag full of toys.
\nHis heart overflowing with true Christmas joys.
\nSo, may we, your friends, echo this cheer?<\/p>\n

Merry Christmas to you
\nand to all a good year!<\/p>\n
