So, I was over at DragonLady’s place and saw her Arkansas version of Twas the Night Before Christmas, and it reminded me of something I participated in several years ago with an entirely different group of internet friends.

It was in a forum, not a blog, but we started with a couple of verses of Twas the Night Before Christmas…. and each one of us added one or two verses two it, changing it to talk about each other. I think that we in this circle of blog-friends have read enough of each other’s blogs to know each other well enough to do this.

I’ll start out with two verses, and you all add one or two. Don’t forget to add links to the person you’re talking about. As you add them in comments, I’ll add them to this post. ) Here it goes:

‘Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the net
Everyone was blogging
about what they should get.

You’ve heard lots from Diane
who lives over in Texas
about how she loves her Fury
but she really wants a Lexus.

MacBro and Corey
were out buying beer,
with a case or two
they’d have nothing to fear.

While Rich down in Florida
was searching for lost blogs,
And judging pics
of goofily dressed dogs.

Macbros looks toward,
Diane, Mel, and Richard
Raises his hand,
and offers them a pitcher.

Then Sam comes along,
to celebrate the season.
But, when it comes to drinking,
she never needs a reason.

So, she sits with the fellas,
and the ladies of the blog.
To cherish the occasion,
and get wasted from her grog.

Mel went to the kitchen
to see what she could cook
and found David passed out
from the eggnog he took…

That merry old drink
had been spiked by JJ
with vodka and rum
AND some Tanqueray!

The booze in the eggnog
Wasn’t killing the salmonella,
So Mauser Girl and Sam
Fed it all to PETA.

Skye simply wanted
to find a man
Just to tease and entice
then dump him again.

She couldn’t find one sober,
got angry and spat,
knocked over the tree
and blamed Democrats.

Dragonlady came in
Like a seargent she yelled
“On your feet, drunks!
The tree is felled!”

A noise outside!
Is that Santa we hear?
Not quite, it’s Boris
bringing more beer!

He brought Lingo Slinger
and Leesa along.
They weren’t wearing much,
a hat and a thong.

Rachel showed up
Saw nudity and beer
and said “I’m under 18,
I am OUTTA here!”

Memphis Steve showed up,
case of Heineken in hand,
Osbasso showed up
with his horn and his band.

Everyone exchanged gifts,
danced and drank all night.
Santa finally showed up
and said “This isn’t right!”

He gave them rides home,
They all piled in his sleigh…
“Merry Christmas blog friends!”
They all said, pulling away.
