<p>Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house<br />
Not a iPhone was stirring, not even a mouse.<br />
The kindles and gadgets were wrapped under the tree with care.<br />
In hopes that <strong>@The_REAL_SANTA</strong> would soon would be there.</p>
<p>We all know that he has done social media strategy right,<br />
Because of the pressure on him this fateful night.<br />
So the teams worked hard all year,<br />
Watching the networks, even those peer to peer.</p>
<p>So, the twitterati were nestled all snug in their beds,<br />
With visions of replies, re-tweets, and DM&#8217;s in their heads.<br />
While monitoring the social web there arose such a clatter,<br />
I sprang from my desk to see what was the matter.</p>
<p>Away to the window, I flew in a dash,<br />
Tore open the shutters and took out my iPhone- but oh no flash!<br />
Not even the camera could capture the new-fallen snow<br />
As I tried to  twitpic the lustre of mid-day to objects below.</p>
<p>When, what to my wondering smartphone lens should appear,<br />
But a miniature sleigh, powered by eight tiny reindeer.<br />
As I whipped out my flip cam, and was turning around,<br />
Down the chimney <strong>@The_REAL_SANTA</strong> came with a bound.</p>
<p>He was outfitted with gadgets, from his head to his foot,<br />
Although the touchscreens were covered with ashes and soot.<br />
He spoke not a word, but updated his status and went back to work,<br />
Uploaded a photo to flickr, downloaded an app, and looked at me with a smirk.</p>
<p>He sprang to his sleigh, and replied to me on twitter,<br />
And away they all flew, those little reindeer critters<br />
As I opened the app on my phone before he drove out of sight,<br />
He sent me a message: &#8220;Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!&#8221;</p>
