I think this rendition of the classic poem is great! I have no idea of the author, but it appears he/she had fun with a thesaurus...

I don't think Kathleen is gonna be too thrilled with posting another author's work in full. It's a violation of copyright, for starters.

Usually, posting the link to this work is the best way to go... a couple of sentences to give us a taste would be tasteful, but not the entire thing.

Of course, that didn't keep me from enjoying the piece.

I hereby submit a couple of my own favorite adaptations to A Night Before Christmas:

I read about 1/4 of that, and my brain turned off.... funny stuff though.

The night political correctness took over a Chrismas poem....

Can't say it was enjoyable reading, I can say it has been stripped of all flow and grinds to a halt by the second sentance.

Why does that remind me of Terry Pratchett?
