Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for December 24, 2013

(sung to the tune of “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas”)I want a Magic Unicorn for Christmas.Only a Magic Unicorn will do.Don’t want a troll, nor ugly gob-i-lin.I cannot stand their BLÄARTINGor their nasty slobberin’.I want a Magic Unicorn for Christmas.I think that Santa Claus would like one, too.He won’t need to sneak while filling gift requests;the Unicorn could activateher Shield of Boringness.I can see it now: I’m out of bed on early Christmas morn.I’ll be happy when I see, standing by the Christmas tree,there’ll be a lovely Magic Unicorn!I want a Magic Unicorn for Christmas.Only a Magic Unicorn will do.Don’t want a dog, nor ordinary horses.I only like Magic Unicornses.And Magic Unicornses like me, too.Merry Christmas to all.

Santa’s in for a surprise when he starts to put presents under that tree!

reminds me of a song from 50 years ago (literally)

Holy fire hazard, Batman!

That was my reaction too Pheebs. Also Way better tree topper. Free candy canes and sugar plumbs.

Tradition, for me, wins out over Todd. Sorry Marigold and Phoebe.

Happiness is a dragon in home for christmas.

Absolutely! Since when is Candy not part of the Christmas tradition?

Well done, Marigold.

The dragon is back!!

Thank you, everyone. I am happy you enjoyed the song. Thanks to Stella S, who made a comment a couple of weeks ago which was the inspiration.Merry Christmas to all!

I wonder if he can modulate his breath to just breathe peppermints and other seasonal candies.

A candy dragon is just the most wonderful of inventions.

So why don’t I see candy canes on the tree?

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I love it when Todd appears!

So he has a name? :) I also foresee LOTS of candy come Christmas time!
