'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the trailer
Not a creature was stirrin' 'cept a redneck named McKraken.
His first name was Bubba, Joe was his middle,
And a-runnin' down his chin was a trickle of spittle.
His socks, they were hung by the chimney with care,
And therefore there was a foul stench in the air.
That Bubba got scared and rousted the boys.
There was Rufus, 12 Jim Bob was 11
Dud goin' on 10 Otis was 7.
John, George and Chucky Were 5,4, and 3:
The twins were both girls so they let them be.
They jumped in their overalls, no need for a shirt,
Threw a hat on each head, then turned with a jerk.
They ran to the gun rack that hung on the wall.
There were 17 shotguns they grabbed them all.
Bubba said to the young'uns, "now hesh up ya'll!
The last thing we wanna do is wake up yer Maw."
Maw was expecting and needed her sleep,
So out they crept out the door without making a peep.
They all looked around, and then they all spit.
The young'uns asked Bubba, "Paw, what is it?"
Bubba just stared he could not say a word.
This was just like all of The stories he'd heard.
It was Santy Claus on the roof, darn tootin'
But the boys didn't know they was about to start shootin'!
They aimed their shotguns and nearly made a mistake
That would have resulted in venison steak.
Bubba hollered out, "don't shoot, boys!"
That's Santy Claus And he's brought us some toys.
The dogs were a-barkin' and a-raisin' cain,
And Bubba whistled, and shouted, and called them by name.
"Down, Spot! shut up Bullet! quiet, Roscoe and Enos!
Git, Turnip and Tater and Sam and Bosco!"
"Git down from that porch! git down off that wall!
Quit shakin the trailer, or you'll make Santy fall!"
The dogs kept a-barkin' and wouldn't shut up,
And they trampled poor Pete Who was only a pup.
Santy opened his bag, And threw out some toys.
Bubba got most, but left a few for the boys.
Since the guns had been dropped he just might not die.
He jumped in his sleigh, told his reindeer to hurry.
The trailer started to wobble santa started to worry.
Just as the reindeer got into the air,
The trailer collapsed, but Bubba didn't care.
He was busy lookin' at all his new toys.
Then a thought hit him, and he said to the boys:
"Go check on yer Maw, make sure she's all right.
That roof fallin' on her could-a hurt just a might."
But Maw was OK, and the girls were too.
They fixed up the trailer it looked good as new.
And as for Bubba, he liked Old St. Nick,
But Santa thought Bubba was a pure-in-tee hick!
Bubba had a nice Christmas, and the boys did, too.
And the McKrakens wish a Yee Haw Merry Christmas to you!!!

Well its been a crazy, stressfilled week here. Drew the pug had scared his family this week. He finally got to come home this afternoon. Something with his immune system & blood count being down. Then we thought we almost lost him Wednesday when his count dropped, so they did an blood transfusion. His Dad was there when this all had just happened & had his crying session on the way to & back to pick some meds for him that night. Then both his Mom & dad had a crying session
When alot of tech terms are thrown at you, you get all confused and think too much. He got to finally come home, first time he has been away from home. He went through a few blood tests, and they got him on some meds. So there will be some more folowups.. but he his back to his old self. Just sleeping now after a long week.... so thats what its been like for me...
I just had my Christmas!!!
waiting to get out of the truck, while I get his sister and other brother outside......
Been there, done that, sorta. At least the payment part. But you gotta do what you gotta do. They really are part of the family. Well, at least until you reach your credit limit.

Steve,
you are right, they are part of the family... Well not going to worry about the bill... got him home and that is good... hopefully won't be on all those meds for the rest of his life... the thing that freaked me out though was the little seizures ( which now I think was passing out from the low blood count) he had..
that scared me the most.. & will be happy that we all sleep peacefully tonight! Have to bring him back to the vet ( only 1/4 mile away) on Monday..
we are looking at surgery down the road, for his breathing.. ( a pug problem) but its not life threatening at the moment.. one things at a time...!!!
Awwwe poor Drew baby! Give him a scratch behind the ears from us Mike. Glad he is doing better...sorry your wallet isn't.
The week before Christmas, every morning (just like when I was a kid) I check under the tree to see if Santa came and left me something special, this year I keep looking in the driveway for a new 5th wheel and pick up. No luck yet but I'll keep ya'll posted.
