Christmas prep with Dinosaurs

We’re all in the holiday spirt!  Lights and decorations are going up and we are singing our favorite carols – Rudolph the Red Nose Raptor & The Twelve Dino-Days of Christmas.  Raphael has dressed for the occasion, sporting a Red Nose!  A piece of foil painted red was all it took and a little double sided tape.

Rudolph the Red Nose Raptor

Rudolph the red nose Raptor had a very shiny nose.

And if you ever saw it you would even say it glows.

All of the other Raptors would shout and call him names.

They wouldn’t let poor Rudolph play in the Raptor games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say,

Rudolph with your nose so bright,

will you guide my sleight tonight?

All the other Raptors shouted out with glee,

Rudolph the red nose Raptor You’ll go down in history!
