Not a blogger was typing, not even this louse;
The stockings were fishnets with only one tear,
In hopes that ol' Nickie would soon come up from the rear;
The neocons were nestled all snug with the Reds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in bit heads;
With mamma in a G string, and me in my jock,
We surfed to the corner then read news from Iraq,
When over by the campus there arose such a loud blather,
I stared at my PC as someone took down Dan Rather.
Now off my rocker I landed with a smash,
Reached for my PJ's and pulled out my stash.
The moon on the breast of my sweet little ms.
From the bathroom window, to my eyes did appear,
A miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
Seeing that little old Captain, so funny and quick,
I rushed to be finished, but I zippered my wick.
Yippee-Ki-Ya! my cursing out, came,
You ol' dirty bastard, I yelled in my pain;
"Git, DASCHLE! git, DANCER! git, PRANCER and VIXEN!
go, COMET! go CUPID! go, DUNDERHEAD and BLITZER!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Before I shoot you 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 I cursed as they flew,
That sleigh full of toys, and that St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
So I drew back my hand, and was turning around,
I wound up a good one to smack that old clown.
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 their 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,
A light sabre hung, snug inside its sheath;
He kept a black ace back at home in his quarters,
And shook, when he laughed yet suffered with goiters.
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!"


Dan, Khorosho! I revised my Commie Card to link to this post, twice. At first I had linked to the source of the Russian village photo, which added nothing festive.
So I linked to your outstanding version of "Twas the Night ..." instead.

Great stuff! Wildly original...
Too much work for me.

That was just beautiful. Merry Christmas!, Happy Holidays! Happy New Year! Kwanza! Chanukah! and yes, even Festivus!

Very nicely done. It's been a while since I've seen one like this. Just had to link it. As Superhawk said, "Too much work for me." But I do appreciate it when others do it.
A true example of the spirit of giving... links. ;)

Nice job! It's fun to guess the blogs before clicking on the links. I guessed which was A.C.E. on the first try. Thanks, and Seasons Greetings to all!
