I didn't write this. I haven't a clue who did write it, but I've loved it for years.
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the casa,
Not a creature was stirring. ¡Caramba! ¿Que pasa?
The stockings are hanging con mucho cuidado
In hopes that St. Nick will feel obligado
To leave a few cosas aqui and alli
For Chico and Chica (and something for me).
Los niños are snuggled all safe in sus camas,
With some in vestidos, y some in pajamas).
Their little cabezas are full of good things;
They're all esperando lo que Santa brings!
But Santa esta at the J Street saloon,
Muy borracho since mid-afternoon!
So Mama is waiting beside the ventana
When Santa arrives en manera extrana
Lit up like fuego (¡que goma manana!)
She'll send him to cama con un heavy "right"--
Merry Christmas a todos y a todos, good night!
