Twas the night before...Holiday?

[hearthethoughts.livejournal.com]

The great thing about being in Milliways and on the internet, is that ages ago in the 1980s there were all these dudes who figured out a way for all of us to be connected in this intensely awesome way. To share illicit photographs and meme ideas like this one.

I'm betting, that from whatever walk of life you come from, whatever religion, practice, etc-we've all heard-
The Night Before Christmas?

So I'm driving in the car and my mom puts on this holiday album she got from target with a little girl and her "Uncle" Sydney retelling the Night before christmas to her. He gets the names screwed up, he tries to explain the most pointless parts, And it ends with him throwing a shoe at Santa Claus.

So I said to myself, "Self? This would make a great holiday meme!"

So. Your character/puppets/collective are tucking in children, family members, sitting around a campfire, and the children say "Dad-Mom-Parental Unit thing? Will you read me the night before christmas?"

....In so many words, "Have your character tell the nightmare before christmas."

Nobody can remember the entire poem, chances are they'll add their own embelishments-It's fun! And Holiday themed! (Tis the season for corporate coca-cola icons since the modern conception of Santa Claus according to my research originated from a coca-cola ad?) It could be Erastide. Or like-christmas in the 1800s.

And here's The Night Before Christmas as told by Matt Parkman.

Wish's vague poetry (http://weighted-wishes.livejournal.com/2787.html) or story as it were.

A busy time of year it seems.
