Who doesn't want Christmas presents?
Who thinks they can close their eyes
Before the mystery of opening the box?

Not Spiky, because he is a hedgehog
Whose blood pressure normalizes
When he gets the attention of Santa...

That's why he was so pleased
When Cornelius and Dietrich, Betsy and Victor
Wrapped all the gifts for everybody.

But then the idea struck
That he should also wrap
Wonderful Christmas presents.

He thought long and hard
What present would he
Most love to give for the gang.

For Pinky he wanted to give
Extra pair of tires for her black Imprezza
So that she could drive him safely to church.

For Cornelius he wanted to give
A pair of winter boots so that he
Could walk to the store in the snow and get him worm chips.

For Dietrich he wanted to give
A bottle of non-alcohol wine made of baked apples
In the hope of getting a glass for himself.

For Betsy he wanted to give
A rubber band gun
So that he could borrow it from her and shoot some bears in the rear.

For Victor he wanted to give
A romance novel written in cursive
So that he could borrow it from him and read it to Pinky.

As he thought of wrapping the gifts,
First he took the tires for Imprezza
And put them in a box.

Then he went to look for wrapping paper.
He knew it must be some place in the attic
Where Victor weaves all his cobwebs.

In a dark corner there he saw
A roll of yellow wrapping paper
With some purple ribbon that needed curling.

Spiky grabbed them both and went down
To the room where his Christmas box was
And started to curl the ribbon.

He eagerly worked with his hands
Through entire length of the ribbon
Which began to curl and curl like some wild rattle-snake.

Spiky didn't stop there and worked with his feet
Through entire length of the ribbon
Which now looked like a happy Chinese dragon.

While trying to create order out of chaos
Spiky huffed and puffed and sweated so much
That his heart rate rose to the heights of running a race.

He turned and turned and the ribbon
Curled and curled until Spiky
Couldn't move his feet nor his paws.

Even though a little nervous was Spiky,
He had an IQ of 120 and his advanced intellect
Gave him idea and he told to himself:

"Now that tire wrapping is out of the question
I won't leave Pinky upset during Christmas.
That's why I myself will be the present to her."
