    THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS (LEGALLY...)

    Whereas, on or about the night prior to Christmas, there did
    occur at a certain improved piece of real property
    (hereinafter "the House") a general lack of stirring by all
    creatures therein, including, but not limited to a mouse.

    A variety of foot apparel, e.g., stockings, socks, etc., had
    been affixed by and around the chimney in said House in the
    hope and/or belief that St. Nick aka St. Nicholas aka Santa
    Claus (hereinafter "Claus") would arrive at sometime
    thereafter.

    The minor residents, i.e., the children, of the
    aforementioned House were located in their individual beds
    and were engaged in nocturnal hallucinations, i.e., dreams,
    wherein visions of confectionery treats, including, but not
    limited to, candies, nuts, and/or sugar plums, did dance,
    cavort, and otherwise appear in said dreams.

    Whereupon the party of the first part (sometimes hereinafter
    referred to as "I"), being the joint-owner in fee simple of
    the House with the parts of the second part (hereinafter
    "Mamma"), and said Mamma had retired for a sustained period
    of sleep. (At such time, the parties were clad in various
    forms of headgear, e.g., kerchief and cap.)

    Suddenly, and without prior notice or warning, there did
    occur upon the unimproved real property adjacent and
    appurtenant to said House, i.e., the lawn, a certain
    disruption of unknown nature, cause, and/or circumstance.
    The party of the first part did immediately rush to a window
    in the House to investigate the cause of such disturbance.

    At that time, the party of the first part did observe, with
    some degree of wonder and/or disbelief, a miniature sleigh
    (hereinafter "the Vehicle") being pulled and/or drawn very
    rapidly through the air by approximately eight [8] reindeer.
    The driver of the Vehicle appeared to be, and in fact was,
    the previously referenced Claus.

    Said Claus was providing specific direction, instruction,
    and guidance to the approximately eight [8] reindeer and
    specifically identified the animal co-conspirators by name:
    Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and
    Blitzen (hereinafter "the Deer"). (Upon information and
    belief, it is further asserted that an additional
    co-conspirator named "Rudolph" may have been involved.)

    The party of the first part witnessed Claus, the Vehicle,
    and the Deer intentionally and willfully trespass upon the
    roofs of several residences located adjacent to and in the
    vicinity of the House, and noted that the Vehicle was
    heavily laden with packages, toys, and other items of
    unknown origin or nature. Suddenly, without prior invitation
    or permission, either express or implied, the Vehicle
    arrived at the House, and Claus entered said House via the
    chimney.

    Said Claus was clad in a red fur suit, which was partially
    covered with residue from the chimney, and he carried a
    large sack containing a portion of the aforementioned
    packages, toys, and other unknown items. He was smoking what
    appeared to be tobacco in a small pipe in blatant violation
    of local ordinances and health regulations.

    Claus did not speak, but immediately began to fill the
    stockings of the minor children, which hung adjacent to the
    chimney, with toys and other small gifts. (Said items did
    not, however, constitute "gifts" to said minor pursuant to
    the applicable provisions of the U.S. Tax Code.)

    Upon completion of such task, Claus touched the side of his
    nose and flew, rose, and/or ascended up the chimney of the
    House to the roof where the Vehicle and Deer waited and/or
    served as "lookouts." Claus immediately departed for an
    unknown destination.

    However, prior to the departure of the Vehicle, Deer, and
    Claus from said House, the party of the first part did hear
    Claus state and/or exclaim: "Merry Christmas to all and to
    all a good night!" Or words to that effect.

    'Twas the night before Hanukkah
    and all over the place
    There was noise, there was kvetching
    Such ah disgrace!

    The Kinderlakh, sleeping,
    uneasily felt
    The chocolate rush
    from the Hanukkah gelt.

    And me in the easyboy,
    so stuffed with latkes,
    I stretched the elastic
    which held up my gatkes.

    When up on the roof
    (and it has a steep pitch)
    A fat alte kakker was making a kvitsch.

    I jumped up real quick
    and I ran to the door,
    Was it a bandeet,
    or only a schnorrer?

    He wasn't alone;
    he had eight ferdelakh,
    And called them by name
    as he gave a gebrakh:

    "On Moishe, on Yankel, on Itzik, on Sam,
    On Mendel, on Shmendrik, on Feivush, on Ham;
    My kidneys are kvelling;
    do you give a damn?"

    He had a white beard
    and payyes to boot,
    And to keep out the cold,
    he had such a nice suit!

    A second from Peerless,
    I could tell at a glance,
    But the cut was okay,
    and so were the pants.

    He was triple XL,
    a real groisser goof,
    So I yelled out,
    "Meshuggener! Get off from mein roof!"

    He jumped down and said
    as he shook hands with me,
    "Max Klaus is the name.
    You have maybe some tea?"

    So I gave him a gleisel,
    while he shook his white mop,
    Mutt'ring, "Always the same thing,
    They're dreying my kopp!"

    From Vancouver to Glacier Bay,
    Outremont to Reginek,
    Every shmo in the world
    hakks meir a cheinik!

    They're screaming for presents,
    and hallah with schmaltz,
    And from Brooklyn alone,
    the back pain, gevaltz!"

    So we sat and yentehed,
    and we spun the old dreydels,
    (He took all of my money,
    and one of my knaidels)

    He said, "Business is not bad,
    a living I make,
    But I'm getting too old
    for this Hanukkah fake;

    And the cell phones, you see
    how my pacemaker dings?
    For two cents I'd quit,
    and move to Palm Springs?"

    And he gave a geshrei
    as he fled mit a lakht,
    "Gut Yontiff to All,
    Vey iz Mir, Such a Nakht!"
