Last night........

My mountain home,
Is always so quite.
But last night,
I had such a fright.

A knocking at my door at One A.M.
OMG, who died?

I went downstairs in my robe to find,
A bearded man with someone behind.
I said, "Hello, what can I do for you."
"Ya got a room for me and my crew?"

I turned on the outside light,
And oh good gosh, what a sight.
A lady, a few Elves and several horned animals,
Oh yeah, and a sleigh.

He said. "We always stop in this area,
To take a break each year.
On our way headed down South,
So put your tounge back in your mouth."

I asked, "Why'd you choose my house this year?"
"Because these mountains to you are so dear,
We came in,
To welcome you here."

He had some brandy, and Mrs santa, or Betty, had some brownies.
So me and Santa
Laughed and told stories all night.

The Elves and reindeer stayed in the guest room.
