Christmas Morning is a comic but poignant short story by Ireland's Frank O'Connor, first published in The New Yorker in 1936. The narrator of the story is Larry Delaney, an Irish boy who appears regularly in O'Connor's stories, and serves as O'Connor's alter ego.
Larry is a typical mischievous Irish boy who likes to skip school and runs with a rough crowd. Larry fears that, because of his misbehavior, Santa Claus won't be leaving him any presents for Christmas. His fears are stoked by his mother, who scolds him constantly and compares him unfavorably to his smarter, better-behaved younger brother Sonny. Larry resents his mother, who constantly pushes him to excel at school and frets aloud that he will amount to nothing, like his drunken father.
On Christmas morning, Larry wakes up early and finds that Santa Claus has left only a book in his stocking, while there's nothing but a toy gun in Sonny's. Since Larry has no interest in books, he switches the presents, taking the gun for himself and leaving the book to the more studious Sonny. He imagines that no one but Santa Claus will ever know the difference.
Christmas or Christmas Day (Old English: Crīstesmæsse, meaning "Christ's Mass") is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed most commonly on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it is prepared for by the season of Advent or the Nativity Fast and initiates the season of Christmastide, which historically in the West lasts twelve days and culminates on Twelfth Night; in some traditions, Christmastide includes an Octave. Christmas Day is a public holiday in many of the world's nations, is celebrated culturally by a large number of non-Christian people, and is an integral part of the holiday season, while some Christian groups reject the celebration. In several countries, celebrating Christmas Eve on December 24 has the main focus rather than December 25, with gift-giving and sharing a traditional meal with the family.

Colored lights upon the tree
Rocking horse and snow fairy
Gathered round the fire at night
Carols sung by candlelight
Watch the snowflakes touch the ground
Falling softly on the town
Frosted windows in the morn
Woolly jumpers newly worn
Friends and family pass around
Presents brought from out of town
Listen to the joyful sounds of morning
Trinkets hang upon the tree
Candy canes so sugary
Waiting for the house to wake at dawning
Tinsel hung from wall to wall
Mistletoe upon the door
Mugs of cocoa steaming hot
Eggnog ladled from the pot
Friends and family pass around
Presents brought from out of town
Listen to the joyful sounds of morning
Trinkets hang upon the tree
Candy canes so sugary
Waiting for the house to wake at dawning
Friends and family pass around
Presents brought from out of town
Listen to the joyful sounds of morning
Trinkets hang upon the tree
Candy canes so sugary
