The Night Before Christmas...with a twist

#1

Post by raven »

'Twas the Night before Christmas, when all through the Spyderco House. Not a creature was stirring, not even a Spyderco Mouse, Cricket, Ladybug, etc... The stockings were hung by the chimney with care In hopes that Sal Glesser Clause and Son Eric soon would be there.

The Spyderco Family wer nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of Spydercos danced in their heads; And mamma in her Spyderco T-shirt and I in my Spyderco cap had just settled down for a long winters nap. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, crash,smash, screech, boom. I sprang from the bed and tripped over my shoe to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I limped, then slid on the carpet like a flash. Tore open the shutters, smash my thumb, cussed and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow. Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below. When what to my wondering eyes should appear. But a miniature sleigh, and 8 tiny reindeer, with 2 lively drivers so lively and quick. I knew in a moment it was St. Sal and son Eric.

More rapid than Hawkbills their coursers they came and they whistled, and shouted, and called them by name "Now Delica, Now Endura, Now Worker, and Civilian, On Manix, On Mili, On Adventura and Calypso.

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall. Now cut, slice, slice away all. As dry leaves that before a wild hurricane fly, when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. So up to the house top the coursers flew, with the sleigh full of Spydies, and Sal and son Eric too.

And then in a twinkle, I heard on the roof the pouncing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my hand, poking my eye and turning around. Down the chimney Glesser's smash, crash, boom with a bound. They were dressed all in fur from head to foot, and their clothes were tarnished from soot.

A bundle of Spydercos they flung on their back's, and they looked like peddlers just opening their packs.

They spoke not a word, but went straight to work, and filled all the stockings with Spydercos, then turned with a jerk. And laying their finger aside their nose, gave a nod and up the chimney they rose. They sprang to their sleigh, to their team they gave a whistle, and away they flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard them exclaim, as they drove out of sight. "MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD SPYDERCO KNIFE".

God Bless All and Merry Christmas :)

Dear Friends,

Someone has been hitting the eggnog a bit heavily this evening, methinks... :D

Joyeux Noel, mes amis!
