Another "'Twas the Night before Christmas"
This was posted by Bernie a few years ago - author unknown
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
La Víspera de Navidad
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the casa,
Not a creature was stirring -- Caramba! Que pasa?
Los niños were tucked away in their camas,
Some in long underwear, some in pajamas,
After hanging the stockings with mucho cuidado
In hopes that old Santa would feel obligado
To bring all children, both buenos and malos,
A nice batch of dulces and other regalos.
Outside in the yard there arose such a grito
that I jumped to my feet like a fightened cabrito.
I ran to the window and looked out afuera,
And who in the world do you think that it era?
Saint Nick in a sleigh and a big red sombrero
came dashing along like a crazy bombero.
And pulling his sleigh instead of venados
were eight little burros approaching volados.
I watched as they came, and this quaint little hombre
was shouting and whistling and calling by nombre:
"Ay Pancho, ay Pepe, ay Chucho, ay Checo,
Ay Chato, ay Chico, Pedrito, y Beto!"
Then standing erect 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 chiminea,
Then huffing and puffing at last in our sala,
With soot smeared all over his red suit de gala,
He filled all the stockings with lovely regalos --
For none of the niños had been very malos.
Then chuckling aloud, seeming very contento,
He turned like a flash and was gone like the viento.
And I heard him exclaim, and this is verdad,
Merry Christmas to all and Feliz Navidad!
Mom always told me to be different - Now she says...Not THAT different

The Weeweechu
Once again... Dedicated to all my nomad friends this Christmas Eve...
The Weeweechu
One beautiful December evening, Pedro and and his girlfriend Rosita were sitting on the sand in Baja. It was so romantic with a full moon. Pedro said,
"Mamacita, lets play Weeweechu".
"Oh no, not now, Pedro. Lets just look at the moon," said Rosita.
"Oh c'mon baby. Let's you and me play Weeweechu. I love you and it's the perfect time," Pedro begged.
"But I wanna just hold your hand and watch the moon," said Rosita.
"Please corazoncita. Just once, play Weeweechu with me right here."
Rosita looked at Pedro and said, "OK. This one time, we'll play Weeweechu."
Pedro grabbed his guitar, began to strum it, and they both sang...........
"Weeweechu a Merry Christmas..... Weeweechu a Merry Christmas.....
Weeweechu a Merry Christmas.....and a Happy New Year."

Father Christmas
When I was small I believed in santa claus
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stocking at christmas
Open my presents and Id be glad
But the last time I played father christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor
They said:
Father christmas, give us some money
Dont mess around with those silly toys.
Well beat you up if you dont hand it over
We want your bread so dont make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys
Dont give my brother a steve austin outfit
Dont give my sister a cuddly toy
We dont want a jigsaw or monopoly money
We only want the real mccoy
Father christmas, give us some money
Well beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father christmas, give us some money
Dont mess around with those silly toys
But give my daddy a job cause he needs one
Hes got lots of mouths to feed
But if youve got one, Ill have a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids down the street
Father christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
Well beat you up if you dont hand it over
Give all the toys to the little rich boys
Have yourself a merry merry christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin
While youre drinkin down your wine
Father christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
Well beat you up if you dont hand it over
We want your bread, so dont make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys
The Kinks!

Hubs Loves the Weeweechu
And sends it out again every Christmas.
I guess it has become a family tradition.

What a Great List
I love the universal human desire to share good will in so many languages.
But (Irony Alert!) There are no official conservative messages, like Mele Kalikemaka Let's Get the "Actually Born in Kenya" Obama".
Sorry, I couldn't resist tweaking the post a little.
