The observant amongst you may have noticed that Christmas is upon us. People are smiling and joking and generally being all cheerful. Family time rears its ugly head. Loving and giving become the main words on everyone's lips.
It's enough to make you fit the house out with a full security system, including armed response, and hide inside til January when everyone will be back to normal.
People even go around telling stories of Santa, and how he flies on his sleigh, is fat and jolly with a twinkle in his eye, and gives out wonderful gifts to the precious little darlings. Enough to make you vomit.
This year I thought we could tell the real story of Christmas. Did Santa come? What did he bring? And what happened to him along the way?
Feel free to join in, subject to the rules:
- Fuck off fluffy bunnies - this is Christmas in Hell.
- Twee, cutesy, or otherwise Heaven-worthy posts will be summarily dealt with.
- Your post can be two or four lines of verse to add to the poem, or it can be more free form, to tell of tangents along the way.
- Keep with the theme. Fuck off fluffy bunnies - this is Christmas in Hell.

Twas the night before Christmas,
And throughout all Hell
The fires were burning
And the sulphur did smell.

I was having a raging fight with my spouse.

The children were terrified in their beds,
while visions of cutting fights and arguments danced in their heads.
And Mama with her foam bat, and father with deaf ears,
had just settled in their disturbed brains for a Narnian long winter.

Below in the carpark there came a great din
A ranting old drunkard, all reeking of GIN
I pulled up the covers and clutched hard my gun
To wait 'til the ranting old hobo was done.

The snow plough had piled up new fallen snow

He tripped as he wrenched my wife's hanky away,
And made for her bosoms, his hands all aflay.
Just as well she was carrying a bowlful of trifle:
Gave me some time to reach for the rifle.
The children screamed as the bullet hit home
Right into the butt of that very fat gnome.

An interlude passes,
As CM jumps in;
'Midst jokes about gasses,
Drunk Santas on gin,
And all manner of things both noxious and rude,
In comes CM to brighten the mood!
In a loud and stentorian voice he does cry,
"HA! Think this is the worst? Not at all, say I!
"For I know of things which shall trouble you so,
"That under your beds, cow'ring you'd go,
"To see some of the piccies in newsgroups I've seen
"Would cause quite a few of you to let out a scream
"And wish that you'd never, not ever, been born --
"I speak of that seasonal thing: SANTA PORN!
"Oh, that jolly old man, with his gut and his beard
"Is quite tailor-made for us bears, but it's weird
"To see the same images 'gain and again
"Of Santa Claus spanking and ****ing nude men!
"After a while, the things write themselves
"(Including the frequent gang-bangs with the elves)
"I'm not making this up, no no, not a whit
"I've seen dozens of pictures and stories and shit!
"And every time someone fills up this tired pigeon-hole
"They think that they are the first and original!
"I just want to say that they're not, and my snoring
"Is not post-coital; I just find it boring.
"I hope that regarding that trend, this'll go
"Allowing for better stuff under the mistletoe
"Santa may know who is naughty and nice,
"But "Naughty Santas Gone Wild!" leaves me cold as ice.
"Not to be nasty or get you all down,
"But this stuff is worse than old Ouchy the Clown!*
"I do tend to love many bearded old men,
"But not the same porn stuff again and again!
"So, repetitive artists, one thing I do list;
"Retire from erotica; you shall not be missed."
And with that request, CM sped on his way
To go on to brighten another thread's day!
"One thing I leave with, and this I say most:
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good post!"

Now David is gone and his post's at an end
To this hideous saga we must all attend...
"Not far from the scene of our horrible tale,
about half a mile: there you cannot fail
to see the town square with its drunkards so merry
and twelve-year old tartlets a-hawking their cherry,
and there, in the corner there sits one half-dead
with a stained fur-trimmed hat adorning his head.
He holds up a banner upon which is writ,
'Keep Xmas as Xmas' (in the colour of shit):
"I love," quoth the urine-soaked ne'er-do-well,
all things about Christmas, its noises and smell,
and each day at six I am ready for fun:
I heat up a microwave Turkey-for-One."
His house is adorned with the tackiest lights,
Inflatable angels illumine the nights,
And after his dinner, as Christmas draws near,
in the heart of this happiest time of the year,
he goes to the square with his banner so foul
and bellows and bellows his dread, dismal howl:
"I used to be someone, but I was forgot,
I was bigger than Lennon, the whole bloody lot,
It's MY birthday, Christmas, the clue's in the name!
Two thousand long years I have been at this game!
And now I'm an adjunct, discarded, outpriced:
At Xmas there's none who's worse off than the Christ."

Ahem, said a small voice away in the back,
“Forgive my poor rhyming, I’m a bit of a hack,
but despite all your woes of shitty email and Santa’s gone queer,
be grateful you’re not working retail, this time of year.”
“Oh the stories we poor mall-dwellers can share,
of small children gone mad, and shoppers who scare.
The crowds at the door who simply won’t wait,
And trample you down as you open the gate.”
“The joy of wearing a hot pink Santa hat
While fitting a woman who is far beyond too fat
For a bit of chiffon with some rhinestones affixed
And convincing her it will make her a minx.”
“Oh guiding around the befuddled men
Who’ve not bought for their wives since the kiddies turned ten
Showing them this bit of lace and that bit of fluff
Disgusted they don’t know which size is enough.”
“I love Christmas for it brings me a raise
Which it certainly should, for putting up with the craze.
But Happy Christmas Music makes me want to scream
Because I’ve been hearing it since Halloween!”

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
I said, 'I'm with PETA, you murdering brute!
To make yourself pretty, which animal rare
was skinned just to keep your arse warm in night air?'
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
and the smoke of it choked me; 'You prat! I can't breathe!'
I cried as I wheezed, my anger aroused,
'You can smoke in't back garden, but not in this house!'
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
'I know about your type,' I said, 'from the telly,'
'You fatties are taking much more than your due;
No bloody mince pies, Lardie, rice cakes for you!'

Much debauchery was going that night; drunken skunks & skinmag skimmers sunk, putting more darkness in the light...
When out of the chimney popped some fat bitch with a steel-plated RSV to see what was the matter.
"Get Up glitzen, up dancer, up rudolph, up prancer!"
Then she looked off to the right and saw an even more heinous sight; CDs of praise songs were being burned by a pestilential Dick Van Dyke!
He lurched at her, & grabbed his overflowing bag...
"You won't get me praise songs lassie this day, I hate hymns and will break church tradition every which way!"
His horrid cockney accent made her clutch her chest with fright and faint...as he ran to the pub to have yet another pint.

...Whilst over in London, not far from Big Ben,
In the craven First Lord of the Treasury's den
A meeting most urgent was there taking place -
It seemed like our ruler had egg on his face.
The problem was this: at the end of the year
The Last Trump had blown, and the Judgement was here,
And those who'd been raptured had vanished away,
Limbo and Purgatory'd had their last day,
The Prophets were back, there were chariots of fire,
In short, Earth had now reached the end of the wire.
The Angelic Recorder had ticked off his list,
but one squirming bastard, it seemed, had been missed.
So, armed with a clipboard, he flew through the air
And arrived in the office of A. C. L. Blair:
"What's this then: no Judgement, no Heaven or Hell?
No marks for the bad things, the things you've done well?
I'm not sure what God the Almighty has planned:
But it sure ain't a place in the Heavenly Band.
So come on, cough up then, you shifty stoolpigeon"
Quoth Blair, "see, the thing is, we don't do religion..."

Ponging of ‘pits unwashed,
All hope in me is quashed.
How can I feel the Christmas spirit,

Christmas is the cruelest month, breeding
Holly out of Walmart, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Santas with MasterCard.
Thanksgiving kept us warm, covering
Anxiety in forgetful turkey, feeding
A little life with overcooked foul.
Advent surprised us, coming before Christ the King
With a shower of purple, We stopped at the cathedral doors
And went on into ecclesiastic smoke, into the church's close
And sipped left-over sacramental wine, talking tat by the hour.
Bin gar keine Anglicane, stamm' aus Londenen, echt angliterre.
And then we were acolytes, staying at the archbishop's
My cousin, he took me out on a sled,
And I was frightened. He said, Marie,
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.
In the cloisters, there you feel free.
I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.

Oooh, literary parody time!
What jingle bells for we who shop as cattle?
Only the monstrous muzak of the shops
Pursues us as we wildly battle,
Loops round and round and never stops
No rest for us: just further hells
Mocked by everlasting choirs -
And shrill, demented peals of bells -
And mirage of cosy Christmas fires
Candles! napkins! Table settings-
How can I rest while I still lack
A modish Christmas tree in black
Forever shopping, yet still forgetting
The one essential present 'til I find
I'm keeping Christmas, but have lost my mind

They huddled in corners and stared at the ground.
A christmas tree fairy, her wings ripped to shreds,

Santa's boots shook the ground as he loomed overhead,
"This is Hell, little bunnies, and soon you'll be dead!"
But one little rabbit, still quaking with fear,
Said, "Dear Santa, don't kill us, not this time of year.
Just think of the angels and babe in a manger.
If you kill us your soul will be in real danger."
The denizens roared and the red fires blazed
On the cruel black knife in Santa's fist raised....

How about melting the butter onto the hominy grits, then?
Or maybe melt an ice cream bar on the top.
Or banana yogurt with a sprig of broccoli.
But I suppose that if you were able to get hominy grits to the state where it was actually fit to eat, you would have to watch out - your hound dog might up and steal it away on you.

Or banana yogurt with a sprig of broccoli.
But I suppose that if you were able to get hominy grits to the state where it was actually fit to eat, you would have to watch out - your hound dog might up and steal it away on you.
I am not certain which is more distasteful, your culinary ideas or your prejudice. Perhaps you should "up and" follow Sine's example after all.

And do I get to take a slash?
Or grab a pint, or smoke a fag?
One single more mince pie to go

Prejudice is kinda harsh, actually. I have some roots in the south; my great-grandparents had a cabin near the shore of the Mississippi. Some of the family is still there, too.
Mind you, they don't understand why I, as a Cunnuck, like to eat poutine and pigs tails.
And they don't believe that there is a sport called curling.
Expecially clergy curling. You know, the Friar's Briar, and all.
It ain't prejudice, it's just culture clash the few times we all get together.
So piss off.

The "shore" of the Mississippi is certainly an interesting concept, and one with which I am unfamiliar. I suspect the Army Corp of Engineers shares that unfamiliarity. Perhaps you're confusing it with the shores of Gitche Gumee.

Oh, bugger, guess I need to change the heading on the back of the picture of their cabin, then. Thing is, though, it is in my grandmother's handwriting, and she has been gone for 33 years, so I hate to mess up what she wrote.

Actually, the last place I ate grits was at the Summer Institutes of Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton, New Jersey.
They still tasted like shit, though.
My collection of LIW books is at the condo, so can't get there to check the titles until after I do two Christmas Eve and a Christmas Day service. So will have to take the word of the fluffy bunny.
Which I probably would have done anyway; I can't remember her being wrong about anything.

I don't know the Mississippi but the Thames has shores here and there. In fact during WW2 I gather they dumped sand in places to make a beach because the real thing on the coast was a tad hazardous what with the landmines and the tank traps and all. Though the only time I actually fell in the Thames it was definitely a bank I walked off. Does this post get me a certificate for rambling?
Posted by Jeremiah Gutzywuk (# 8783) on
:
Perhaps there is simply a difference in terminology above the border and across the pond, just as there are some differences in spelling.
The Grand River Website here is an example of the use of "shore" to describe the land surrounding a river. The Website promotes the beauty of the land along the shore of the Grand River.
But especially at this time of the year, there is really no need for those who live in the South to apologize. You are not demonstrating prejudice, just facing culture clash.
Admittedly, though, use of terms such as "white trash" do tend to stir up shit.
And the South would seem to be a logical starting point for that.

You really don't know how to use a search engine, do you? Which is a pity because you, more than most, apparently need one.
You don't know what hominy is, yet you claim to be familiar with it.
You don't know that the Mississippi has banks, levees, and battures not shores, yet the old home place supposedly had a river view.
You're a fan of Laura Ingalls Wilder, but know neither how to spell her name nor the correct titles of her books.
I hope your research is a little better for your sermons.

Ya gotta admit, though, it is kinda cute how Sine suggested that I was just trying to stir up shit, then allowed himself to get all stirred up - as did several others.
If I had any idea what the central poem was, I might add something rude to it; however, Sarky, who started the thread, congratulated folks for cross-post poems, so maybe a shitty sort of stew is what is needed. Endless, pointless bickering may just remind folks of being home for the holidays.
Not me though; all my relatives are wonderful to be around, all of the time.
