An Ode to Notable Christmas Gifts

'Twas the night before Christmas and we tore it up
the four of us comfy with scotch in our cups




We waited and waited
for black santa to come
and grant us some goodies
for long winter fun



We gathered 'round the tree to share in our thrift
To score useful items, and then to regift

I was über excited with books from mental floss
and the sentiments inside on me were not lost


I then passed to Jerome love through anime
with a handmade flipbook of childhood play



We jammed on ukuleles and laughed as we danced
and Todd learned he was "super" with one fluid glance

'Twas a joyous occasion
and a night to remember
for Christmas with friends
gets as toasty as ember

And even though our families
were far, far away
between skype and long-opened gifts, in our hearts they did stay

On that cold night,
we in a holiday cuddle
drifted off to dreamland, our thoughts all a-muddle

And when morning came, we awoke not in clover
For Santa had brought us each a Christmas hangover
