Twas the night before Christmas!
DAVE style:

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house
all the creatures were snoring, including my spouse
The presents were dumped, strewn here and stewn there
left there for Dave to sift through with care

The spawn were both nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Pokemon danced in their heads;
Dave with her Christmas paper upon her lap,
Had just settled down and started to wrap

When all of a sudden, right out of the blue
I hear on the roof a huge hullabaloo
I opened the door, and I peered outside
Looked up on my roof in case something had died

The moon shone brightly, the night was a'glow
Something was up there, well whaddoya know!
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
Someone stuck in my chimney, and 8 laughing reindeer

A big red behind, with legs that would kick
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than sailors his curses they came,
And he shouted, and hollared, using names in vain;

"Shuddap, DASHER! Shuddap, DANCER! Shuddap, PRANCER
and VIXEN!
Get me out, COMET! come on CUPID! HELP me, DONNER
and BLITZEN!
Get me out of this hole! I am starting to fall!"
I watched as they laughed, they were having a ball

As they pushed and they prodded, laughing till they cry,
meeting obstacle after obstacle, their gaiety high,
Urging poor Santa down the chimney flue,
I wondered for a moment if I should help too.

And then, in a twinkling, I watched on the roof
The pushing and shoving of each little hoof.
As I drew back indoors, and opened a Bud,
Down the chimney came Santa with a resounding THUD.
He was all disheveled, from his head to his foot,
His clothes were all ruined with tears and soot;
A bundle of toys he threw in the room,
And he looked pretty ticked, with misery and gloom

His eyes -- how they grimaced! his look was so scary!
His cheeks were all puffed, making me wary
His droll little mouth was drawn up in a sneer,
This was someone I didn't wanna get near;

The overall appearance was unheathly and crabby,
His sedentary lifestyle had made him flabby;
I knew tonight would be no big laugh riot,
I hid all the treats and suggested a low carb diet.

He was chubby and plump, a disgrunted old elf,
And I winced when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon made me know I wish I'd been in bed;
He spoke not a word, and started his work,
would not speak to me, boy what a jerk,
And laying his finger inside of his nose,
He picked it, and then my nausea rose;

He left room, realization shone on his face
My thoughts of his behaviour was purely disgrace
But I heard him exclaim, I KNEW he was bent..
"OY VEY, I just had a Dave moment."

Take me home!
