Twas the Night Before Moto Xmas

Twas the night before Christmas, and I, home alone.

Sat typing texts on my outdated phone.

After sending the last, I folded it closed.

Then laid my head down for a holiday doze.

As I lay sleeping, a sound in the distance.

I rushed to the door to offer assistance.

I looked all around me, and there in the snow.

A neatly wrapped box with a ribbon and bow.

I lifted the box and shook it with care.

Examined the label and read what was there.

To Stephen, From Santa was all that it said.

A wash of confusion, a scratch of my head.

It was then that I heard a voice from behind.

I whirled around quickly and who did I find?

A large, bearded man, I felt so perplexed.

Said the red-suited man, How's your new Moto X?

I stared without speaking, with slack in my jaw.

Was I really here speaking with the Santa Claus?

I love it so much! My mind is now blown!

But what have I done to deserve such a phone?

Well, Santa said. Here's what I know.

You've made the nice list' 30 years in a row.

And though a good man, one fact, sad but true.

You've had the same phone since two-thousand-and-two!

I blushed when I heard these words that he spoke.

For years now I'd been the butt of phone jokes.

Friends, family and strangers, their merciless taunts.

Now I had the smartphone that they all would want.

I turned to depart, but was stopped in my tracks.

But first, a favor, is what Santa asked.

Of course! I replied. Just say the word.

He pointed to X and here's what I heard.

That phone in your hand is my own device.

Which I give to you merrily, without thinking twice.

But the evening is young and I've much to do.

So please, would you help, and ride with me, too?

That's when I got it he needed this phone.

To zip all around and bring joy to all homes.

With this I leapt up, as if by reflex.

Let's make Christmas happen with my Moto X!

I mapped our long journey and spoke texts with the elves.

Took brilliant photos and selfied ourselves.

Updated Facebook to fill the news feed.

All of this running at lightning-fast speeds.

Moto Voice, Actions, Display, and Assist.

We worked through the night until nothing was missed.

I called out below toward the end of our flight.

Moto Xmas to all, and to all, a good night!
