Merry Christmas to all...

... and to all, a good night!  *falls asleep*

Quote


Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.

His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"

-- Clement Clarke Moore

a zoog ditty..... Rhakt U Bhaakt sings for you  ( not for the squeemish)

twas the night before christmas, when all through the server,
not a creature was stirring, not even Minerva,
NPC's were hung by their necks with great care,
by the goblins bereft of heroes to care.

the heroes were nestled all snug in heir beds,
with visions of goblins with chopped linmbs and chopped heads,
and Rhakt dressed in red with a rather large sack,
of player bits and pieces just there for to snack.

Then outside of Centre there rose such a clatter,
the heroes arose, said " Oh dear whats the matter"
and out through the  window they jumped with a flash,
and chased ater the orc, his head for to bash.

He was dressed all in gnoll fur, from his head to his foot,
with Pyrtechon armour covered with ashes and soot,
a bundle of bodies now strapped to his back,
for teh childer of orcdom now nothing would lack.

His eyes how they twinkled, his fangs looked so merry,
his cheeks flecked with blood, not with roses or cherry,
his laughing great maw was drawn up like  a bow,
and sucking on bones he dripped blood on the snow.

He was chubby and plump , having eaten an elf,
and he laughed when he saw them in spite of himslef,
with a wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
he vanished before them just leaving the dead.

He sprang to the slay, to his tribe he did whistle,
and they shot at the town with arrows and missle   ( sorry)
and they him exclaim as he shouted in the night,
"happy christmas to all and  a very good fright!!!"
