So, it's _that_ time of year again!!! Merry Christmas and Ho-Ho-Ho and all the Jolly Goodness you can muster!! I love it! I _do_ like to parody some of the songs at times, though, and below is one that I did a number of years ago and like to pull it out for the Holiday Season! ___  [Source](https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=drunken+elf&chips=q:drunken+elf,g_4:christmas&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwifpJy6qfbXAhVrxoMKHdEVCygQ4lYILygA&biw=1536&bih=759&dpr=1.25#imgrc=bsHv96GZyrPrHM:) __ _**'Twas the Night Old Shakey Got Drunk**_ _'Twas the Night Before Christmas, and all was not well, I, Old Shakey the Elf, had a Cold Winter's Spell... My eyes were all blood-shot, my skin like the ash... as I pulled on my 'mistletoe' and climbed up the sash._ _The pack on my back did a quivering shake, and a loud "Ho HO HO" that did not sound so fake... Big Elfie in his cashmere, and Bob in his cape, said, "I love when my plans begin to take shape"_ _While up through the Chimney, they pulled and they shoved as some soot from the pushing knocked off a black glove. Away through the op'ning I nearly did trip, and pushed over Rudolph as he gave me some lip._ _The moon on the crest of the now-fallen Elf as he clambered across and then righted himself, When, what to my gurgling old stomach should show, but a hamburger patty from the rest'rant below._ _With a Debit Card stolen from Jolly St. Nick, I knew in a moment that food did the trick... More rapid than eagles those fast-food types strolled and warmed up their hands so to enter the cold._ _"Two Hamburgers, French Fries, a Cold Drink to Go?" asked the attendant and said, "That be Nine-Fitty-Fo". The guy swiped my card fast! the guy swiped it again! and he called, as he handed it back, "Come again."_ _As fast as the sleigh could be driven that night, I, Shakey, turned on music and flicked on the light... And then down to a house that stood up on a hill, The Elves landed down, laughing hardy and shrill._ _From the other side of the old tottering house came a retired old farmer and his drunken old louse, with a turn of his hand, I, a rifle, did see, and turned with a jerk as the others did flee._ _I was left all alone in this field full of snow, with a 22-gauge stuffed a-twitching my nose. A beer can was tossed to the side as he slurred, "What mischief around here you makin', ya turd?"_ _His eyes were more blood-shot than mine this cold night! His cheeks were all hollowed, fists ready to fight! His fat-lipped old mouth was turned up in a sneer and the piss that ran down me was hot, like my fear._ _He stumped and he laughed as he took off the pack, unloading old Santa from off of my back; His mouth was turned down, he was madder than Hell on this one Christmas Morning not going so well._ _He was chubby and plump, but stronger by far, than a drunken old Elf underneath of the stars. A twist of his arm and I went to my knees as he whistled a shrill little tune to the breeze._ _He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, and pushed me down into the sleigh with a jerk... although Bob was a jerk, he allowed me some room, As Big Elfie was stuffed upside down with a BOOM!_ _He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, and away they did fly like the Patriot Missile. But I heard him shake hands with the farmer below, saying "Thank you, my friend... and now I've got to go!"_  [Source](https://www.google.com/search?biw=1536&bih=759&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=mGAoWtTQJ-zWjwSEk4igAQ&q=falling+snow+animated+gif&oq=Falling+Snow+animated&gs_l=psy-ab.3.0.0j0i30k1j0i8i30k1l8.3477.4492.0.5478.9.9.0.0.0.0.114.636.7j1.8.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..1.8.633...0i67k1j0i24k1.0.d7QlcdjKKbs#imgrc=mTmhIKizlMMFaM:)

Thank you! It's definitely my favorite and I think it would be awesome if families made it a tradition to read it right after 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.
