Well this is going to be my last PLEBA Mansion of the year...i'm going to be going down to San Antonio to visit my family and won't be back till 2004 :D LOL...I hope everybody has a wonderful holiday!!! :hug:

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the PLEBA Mansion
Not a creature was stirring, not even SoulNation;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Santa Bono soon would be there;

The plebacites were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of U2 danced in their heads;
And Lemonboy in his Lemon PJ's, and MikeSt in the Discobooooos,
Had just settled down the Christmas goose,

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and flew out in a dash.

There I lay on the snow, in frozen gear
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,

With a bad driver, so clutzy and sneaky,
I knew in a moment it must be Santa Bono.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

"Now, FlamingJune! now, Moonlit Angel! now, Bluey and FS!
On, Bonochick! on Nini! on, SoulNation and Schmeg!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"

As one of Edge's experiments fly by,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the house-top the reindeer they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and Santa Bono too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I came back in the door, and was turning around,
Down the chimney Santa Bono came with a bound.

He was dressed all in leather, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

His eyes -- how they twinkled! I thought how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And he was covered with snow.

The cigar he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a scruffy face and a little round belly,
That shook, when he laughed like a small bowlful of jelly.

He was a tad chubby, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings with U2ey goodness; then turned with a jerk,
And placing his hand on his shades,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
"HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!"

Merry Christmas everybody!!!!
