One evening, in a busy lounge in the deep south, a reindeer walked in the door, bellied up to the bar and ordered a martini. Without batting an eye, the bartender mixed and poured the drink, set it in front of the reindeer, and accepted the twenty-dollar bill from the reindeers hoof.
As he handed the reindeer some coins in change, he said, You know, I think youre the first reindeer Ive ever seen in here.
The reindeer looked hard at the hoofful of change and said, Hmmmpf. Let me tell you something, buddy. At these prices, Im the last reindeer youll see in here.
Okay, Im a hypocrite. (Hippycrite?) Sue me. I used to like Christmas back then. Besides, it took me ages to find this, so you are getting it whether you want it or not.

YULESVILLE
Twas the night before Christmas and all thru the pad,
Not a hep cat was swinging - and thats nowhere, dad,
The stove was hung up in that stocking routine,
Like, maybe the fat man would soon make the scene.
The kids that fell by had just made the street;
I was ready for Snoresville, and man, was I beat;
When there started a rumble that came on real frantic,
So I opened the window to figure the panic.
I saw a slick rod that was making fat tracks,
Souped up by eight ponies, all wearing hat racks;
And a funny old geezer was flipping his lid.
He told them to make it, and man, like they did!
They were out of the chute, making time like a bat,
Turning the quarter in eight seconds flat.
They parked by the smokestack in bunches and clusters,
And Chubby slid down, coming on like gangbusters,
His threads were from Cubesville and I had to chuckle,
In front, not in back, was his Ivy league buckle!
And the mop on his chin had a button-down collar,
And with that red nose he looked like a baller.
Like he was the squarest, the most absolute,
But lets face it, who cares when he left all that loot?
He laid the jazz on me and peeled from the gig,
Wailing, Have a cool Yule, Man! and clutched off in his rig.
The sardarni asks her lover, santa dear, if we get engaged, will you give me a ring?.
Sure, replies santa. Whats your phone number.
Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a mouse.
Cuzz the cat had pounced on him
And tore him apart -
Ate his mouse intestines
And chewed up his heart.
Kitty thought he heard sleighbells,
Which made him take pause -
He stopped daintily licking
The blood from his claws.
Must be Santa, thought Kitty
(That quite clever cat)
Cuz nobody else climbs down
The chimney like that.
Indeed it was ol Santa
So jolly and fat
With a huge load of presents
And all for the cat!
Wow, the best Christmas ever!
Kitty thought with a purr,
Then he coughed up a hairball
And shed some more fur!
