Feliz Navida

T'was the night before Christmas and all through la casa

Not a creature was stirring, only the masa.

Mama making tamales con mucho cuidado

In hopes old Santa would feel obligado

To bring all the hijos, both buenos y malos

A nice batch of dulces and other regalos

Mis hermanos and I went to sleep in our camas

Some in calsones, some in piyamas

Cuando out in the yard I heard un gran grito

That I jumped to my feet like a frightened cabrito

And who in the world do you think que era?

El mero mero with his venados aya afuera

Santa Claus in a sleigh with a big sombrero

Came dashing along like a little bombero

I watched as they came, and this little fat hombre

Was shouting and whistling, and calling by nombre

'Ay PEPE, AY JESSE, AY CUCA, AY BETO

AY PANCHO, AY CHATO, CHUY Y NETO!'

Then standing straight up, with his hands on his pecho,

He flew to the top of our very own techo

With his round little belly like a bowl of jalea

He struggled to squeeze down our old chimenea

Then huffing and puffing, and a little cansado

He picked up a bag that looked so pesado

He filled all the stockings with lovely regalos

For none of the hijos had been very malos

Then chuckling aloud, seeming very contento

He turned like a flash and was gone like the viento

As I heard him exclaim and this is verdad,

'MERRY CHRISTMAS A TODOS! FELIZ NAVIDAD!'

Well at least you did mention Jesus in your poem, although I don't know that naming a reindeer after him is exactly what all the angry people are looking for when they talk about the "war" on Christmas.

I did not write this..just sharing it. :wink2:
