merry CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the boots were all stacked neatly in the closet with care, in hopes that the single girl living in the city would be returning home with... perhaps... NEW boots?!
she had no children, which was fine with her because she is just 25 and lets not get ridiculous...and the thought of sugar plums dancing just quite frankely always confused her.
Gundy, Princeton and Patches (her three pets, a stuffed duck, bear, and dog, with whom she will never part. they are family to this single girl living in the big city, and no its not weird that she still has stuffed animals at the age of 25) had just settled in for a long winters nap
when out on the roof there arose such a clatter, she sprang from her bed to see what was the matter... away to the window she flew like a flash (because she was a runner. and though sprinting is not something she willingly takes part in, she can really turn up the speed for a few yards at a time!)..peeked thru the blinds and did not throw any sash, for she knows not what a sash is.
the moon on the breast of the few days old-fallen snow gave the parking lot a dismal glow, when, what to her wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.
with a little old driver, so lively and quick, she knew in a moment it must be st. nick.
more rapid than eagles, his coursers they came, and he whistled and shouted and called them by name:
Now Running Chick, Now Nic
Now Bolder and Flatman
On Jeanne! On Runner Susan!
On Viper and Naomi!
(and all the other RBF'ers that she oh so lovingly reads.....found in her links --> go check 'em out)
to the race course! to the race course! THROUGH THE WALL!! (ooooh, look how well that works out!)
Now Dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!!!!!
------
yes. i know. too much time on my hands, right?! ah well.
i'm heading HOME!!!!!! tomorrow after work, and am not bringing Mackie, the laptop, along for the ride. so, while i can, i just wanted to wish you ALL a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS (and all other holiday/religious related celebrations!)
drink a lot. eat a lot. we're runners, thats what we DO!!! so enjoy the holiday, be merry, and sing a carol or two!
