“Twas The Night Before” Funny Christmas Poems
1. Twas the Night Before Christmas and the Dog Ate the Turkey
‘Twas the time of merriment before the festive dawn,
Not a person stirring, not even on the lawn,
In a mischievous adventure, unseen, so quirky,
Alas, our dog got peckish and gobbled up the turkey!
Stockings hung in shock, while Santa laughed in glee,
One memorable Christmas indeed, for you and me!
2. Twas the Night Before Christmas and the Cat Wore the Tinsel
‘Twas the eve before Christmas, a true festive sight,
Our feline, quite jolly, adorned in pure white.
Garland and tinsel, in glitter adorned,
Tales of this yuletide will surely be scorned.
A clatter, a sparkle – what could be the riddle?
Alas, its our cat caught up in the tinsel!
3. Twas the Night Before the Kids Were Up at Dawn
‘Twas the night before the commotion, quiet as a fawn,
Vigilantly waiting for the break of dawn.
Stockings were hung, presents under the tree,
Anxiously awaiting the wake-up spree!
Sugarplum dreams and mischievous yawn,
Just hours before the kids were up at dawn.
4. Twas the Night Before and Dad Assembled the Toys
‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house,
Dad wrestled with plastic, his patience wore out.
The stockings hung empty, no noise from the toys,
For every assembly, had its fair share of noise.
Batteries not included, instructions unclear,
But kids will wake up, to new toys with cheer!
5. Twas the Night Before and Mom Hid the Presents
‘Twas the night before Christmas, all was calm, all was pleasant,
Out of sight in their hiding spots, mom had stowed the presents.
She grinned with glee, and winked her eye,
For the kids had no clues, they could only sigh.
Her secret better than Santa’s fly-by, merry, and resplendent!
6. Twas the Night Before the Teenagers Slept In
‘Twas the night before the teens slept in, not a creature was stirring, not even them. Their phones were plugged by the bedside with care, hoping that YouTube soon would be there. The sneakers were flung without any despair, while visions of late mornings danced in the air.
7. Twas the Night Before the In-Laws’ Surprise Visit
‘Twas the night before the in-laws arrived with cheer,
The house not tidy, full of holiday fear.
Ribbons misplaced, mistletoe in disorder.
Pudding now boiling with no thought of border.
Reindeer and Santa, yet to be hung,
One can’t help but feel a little unstrung!
8. Twas the Night Before and the WiFi Went Down
‘Twas the night before the holiday, no creature making a sound,
Suddenly, oh no, the WiFi has gone down!
Hang the stockings, the ham is on the table,
But without the internet, we’re just not able.
Christmas Eve feels terribly profound,
Just wishing for that sweet WiFi sound!
9. Twas the Night Before a Spouse Gift Exchange Fiasco
‘Twas the night before the gift exchange, festive, but full of dread,
Panic in each heart lain, as each spouse tossed in bed.
Gifts under the tree, woefully insufficient,
A nightmare in our Yuletide vision, causing palpable tension.
Just imagine the morning, spouse’s face all aghast-o,
The night before, prelude to the gift exchange fiasco.
10. Twas the Night Before and Grandma Got the Remote
‘Twas the night before with laughter in full note,
When Grandma found the joy of controlling the remote.
She flipped through each channel with cheer and glee,
From cooking shows to reruns of old-time TV.
The family sat puzzled, their traditions askew,
An evening of soap operas, was new!
11. Twas the Night Before and the Friends Crashed the Party
‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house,
Not a creature was peaceful, not even a mouse.
The stockings were tossed, on the recliner they lay,
For the friends had arrived, causing quite a holiday disarray!
Laughter echoed, as eggnog was heartily sipped,
Whilst outside, through the snow, Santa silently slipped.
Surprises in store, as dawn greeted our sleepy coterie,
Oh, what a time, when friends crashed the Christmas party!
12. Twas the Night Before the Gingerbread House Toppled
‘Twas the night before the house fall, with sweet festive smells,
Where the gumdrop path leads, only Santa can tell,
By the candy cane fence, all frosted and propped,
In the land of gingerbread, where sugar levels hopped,
With a hint of cinnamon, and Christmas spell,
‘Twas the eve of the splatter, a tale we’d later tell.
13. Twas the Night Before the Ugly Sweater Contest
‘Twas the night before the ugly sweater contest, all was full of cheer.
Sweaters stitched with twinkling tinsel, gaudiness from ear to ear.
With jingling bells and knitted elves, patterns so bright, another sight,
Oh what fun, a garland gun! Festive fright takes flight!
So adorn your worst with joy, don’t be coy! The ugly sweater contest is tonight.
14. Twas the Night Before a Mistletoe Mishap
‘Twas the night before, with festive cheer around.
The house was hushed, not a single sound.
With mistletoe hung high and sparkling wine sip,
Unforeseen was the hilarious impending mistletoe mishap.
Underneath it, lovers leaned, yet stumbled with flip-flop,
Delivering such a festive mirth, laughter nonstop!
15. Twas the Night Before and the Wine Ran Out
‘Twas the night before Christmas, quite without clout,
For we gathered in cheer, but the wine had run out.
No Merlot, no Pinot, nor a drop of Bordeaux,
Not a sip in the house, and the spirits were low.
Stockings hung by the chimney with nary a doubt,
Praying that Santa brings wine on his route!
16. Twas the Night Before and the Neighbors Sang Off-Key
‘Twas the night before Christmas, with jingles afloat,
When our neighbors kicked off a rather wild note.
Candles flickering, hot cocoa in our mug,
Their off-key renditions, like a leaking jug!
With fumbled lyrics and bungled joy,
Such musical mayhem, oh boy, oh boy!
Though their notes were skewed, their spirit sprang,
On this festive eve, with a hilarious, delightful clang!
17. Twas the Night Before a Sibling Gift Wrapping Duel
‘Twas the night before Christmas, all still in the house,
Two siblings equipped, each quiet as a mouse.
Armed with ribbons and paper, their faces aglow,
Prepared for the duel under mistletoe show.
In a flurry of laughter, bows, tape and delight,
They made a memory worth sharing that festive night.
18. Twas the Night Before the Toddler Met the Tree
‘Twas the night before Christmas, not a peep from the tot,
His eyes all aglow, and pyjamas with spots.

Oh! What fun awaits when the toddler meets the tree!
Ornaments, tinsel — such joyous spree,
An adventure like no other, as wild as the sea!
19. Twas the Night Before and Aunt Sue Spiked the Eggnog
‘Twas the night before Christmas, not a soul in sight,

With a gleaming twinkle in her eye,
She invented a special eggnog, oh my!
A generous pouring of spike, then a giggle of delight,
Whispered, “Now there will be some merriment tonight!”
20. Twas the Night Before and the Lights Went Haywire
‘Twas the night before Christmas, chaos in the air,
Blinking and twinkling, lights in disrepair.
Santa nearly missed us in the winking glare,
Noses pressed to frosty windows, youth’s expectant stare,
But despite the disarray, filled with love and care,
The yuletide spirit was still everywhere!
21. Twas the Night Before a Snowball Fight Showdown
’Twas the night before the showdown, when all through the town,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a clown.
The snowballs were formed by the moonlight, with care,
In hopes that the epic snow fight soon would be there.
Stockings hung by the heater, filled with extra mittens,
Kids from all around prepared for the conditions.
Let the snow fall, let the winds blow,
For by tomorrow’s dawn, we’d be ready for the snow throw!
22. Twas the Night Before and the Cookies Vanished
‘Twas the night before Christmas, every creature in sight,
Munching on cookies in the soft candlelight.
When what to my wondering eyes appeared?
Only crumbs were left, all cookies had disappeared!
Oh, what a mysterious Christmas Eve antic,
Caught red-handed, it was old Santa, the cookie fanatic!
23. Twas the Night Before the Office Party Regrets
‘Twas the night before the office bash, all in a festive spree,
Drinks were poured, toasts were roared, full of jollity.
Everyone merry, dancing like a ballerina,
Little did they know, of the looming hangover arena.
Get ready for office party regrets and grin,
For tomorrow’s tales of missteps that’ll spin!
24. Twas the Night Before and the Stockings Shrunk
‘Twas the night before Christmas, all festive and fun,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a ton.
We had hung up our stockings, their sizes distinct,
Only to wake in the morning, they all had shrunk – succinct!
From large to petite, they shriveled – a prank,
Santa, please, have mercy in your gift bank!
25. Twas the Night Before a Couple’s First Christmas
‘Twas the night before their first Christmas, not a quarrel in sight,
All wrapped in love, in the twinkling holiday light.
Stockings hanging, mistletoe swaying above,
A magical eve, filled with holly, jolly, new couple love.
Frantic assembly of presents, hot cocoa for two,
Sneaking Santa cookies – but don’t tell, it’s just their little Yuletide breakthrough!
26. Twas the Night Before and the Alarm Didn’t Ring
‘Twas the night before Christmas, the alarm didn’t sing,
In visions of sugarplums, my ears failed to ring.
Rudolph’s red nose or bells didn’t stir,
From dreams of Saint Nick delivering fur.
Oh how I laughed as I stretched from my slumber,
The big day had come, no time for further number!
27. Twas the Night Before a Secret Santa Reveal
‘Twas the night before Secret Santa, a mysterious thrill,
With every stocking almost bursting, yet oh so still.
Giggles echoed softly while sneaking around,
Fun little gifts for colleagues were found.
Merry whispers, a jolly deceit,
Underneath the twinkling office suite,
Dreaming of the fun, to soon be unveiled,
Oh, the suspense! Will Santa’s secret be held?
28. Twas the Night Before and the Turkey Was Frozen
‘Twas the night before Christmas, no warmth in the kitchen,
The turkey, oh dear, in the freezer was stickin’.

We prepped for a feast of festive ‘popsicle’ delight!
And we laughed, oh we laughed, through the cold Yuletide cheers,
Promising ourselves, “We’ll plan better next year!”
