I realized this morning (for what reason it came to mind, I don't know) that I can still remember the first part of "A Martian Christmas"-a reworking of T'was The Night Before Christmas that my class did in the 4th grade for our school Christmas pageant.
T'was the night before Christmas, and all through the crater,
Not a creature was stirring, not even Darth Vader.
The space boots were hung by the air vent with care,
In the hopes that St Snoodlenoot soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their (something),
While visions of Mars Bars danced through the dome.
That's all I can remember. It's probably just as well. :)

LOL!! That was awesome. :D
I tried to find the rest by searching for "all through the crater" and I found this:
'Twas the night before Tertiary and all through the crater,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a gator...
Their carcasses were flung in the wind without care;
Making their species exceedingly rare.
Then from the earth there arose such a clatter...
As earthquakes and volcanos spewed out much matter.
Living in darkness, what should disappear...
The plankton, the plants, what else is not clear!
Out T rex, out pterosaurs, ceratopsians, and raptors,
Comet-killed ammonites and all of their captors.
Many small mammals burrowed to bed,
While fire and brimstone roared overhead.
Birds flew away to avoid the hot blast...
Going like hell until it had past.
Then as the snow and ice hit the ground...
The temperature dropped as things turned around.
Mammals came out of their holes with glee,
To eat bugs and berries, and of course just to pee.
After a time the sun showed some light;
Evolution kicked in with all of its might.
The earth had survived a terrible fright.
Merry Christmas for some; for dinos, GOODNIGHT!
Yey biology! :D
As soon as the snow starts coming my christmas spirit gets cranked up to MAX regardless if I want it yet or not.
Hopefully the music will help.
As for the little Martian christmas thing, I wish you could remember it all, sounds cute!!!
LOL, Prin-it was something my 4th grade class wrote so I'd be really shocked if you found it on the net. I think that I only remember that part because those were the lines I narrated and I practiced for weeks.
z28-the music did help. It's slow but my Christmas cheer is coming.
Hey Skryker, not sure if this will get you in the mood or not, but check out by site for a little pre-christmas surprise. :)
I hope you're ok...
