I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.<BR/><BR/>Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer<BR/>dr. Elmo, 1979, dr. Elmo's Twisted Christmas<BR/><BR/>Grandma got run over by a reindeer.<BR/>Walking home from our house Christmas eve.<BR/>You can say there's no such thing as Santa,<BR/>but as for me and grandpa we believe.<BR/>She'd been drinking too much eggnog,<BR/>and we begged her not to go.<BR/>But she forgot her medication, and she<BR/>staggered out the door into the snow.<BR/>When we found her Christmas morning,<BR/>at the scene of the attack,<BR/>she had hoof-prints on her forehead,<BR/>and incriminating Claus marks on her back.<BR/><BR/>Now we're all so proud of grandpa,<BR/>He's been taking this so well.<BR/>See him in there watching football,<BR/>drinking root beer and<BR/>playing cards with Cousin Mel.<BR/>It's not Christmas without Grandma,<BR/>All the family's dressed in black<BR/>and we just can't help but wonder:<BR/>Should we open up her gifts,<BR/>or send them back?<BR/>Send them back!!<BR/><BR/>Now the goose is on the table<BR/>and the pudding made of fig<BR/>and the blue and silver candles<BR/>that would just have matched<BR/>the hair on grandma's wig.<BR/>I've warned all my<BR/>friends and neighbors<BR/>better watch out for yourselves,<BR/>they should never give a license<BR/>to a man who drives a sleigh<BR/>and plays with elves.<BR/><BR/>How's that for twisted, sister?<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas and happy Chanukah.Motherkittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05112722238053618079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15267747.post-1166442352036479242006-12-18T06:45:00.000-05:002006-12-18T06:45:00.000-05:00Franny, my life is kind of hectic right now, so I ...Franny, my life is kind of hectic right now, so I have been a bad, bad girl, and not posted about your meme. I was thinking of doing one about Frosty the Snowman, but never got around to it.<BR/><BR/>When I went to read Velvet Girl's take on the whole 'freaky Christmas carol' meme, I found that great minds think alike! However, I added my contribution in the comments section. So I KINDA did the meme...<BR/><BR/>Forgive me!Jellyheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344630172173199819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15267747.post-1166288958157535472006-12-16T12:09:00.000-05:002006-12-16T12:09:00.000-05:00This song always rubbed me the wrong way, too.

Assuming that Santa is real, Mom <I>is</I> a ho (or is she a ho ho ho?), the family is going to end up on divorce court, and the kid is going to end up in therapy.<BR/><BR/>I had never thought about the beard length before. Hmmm. Come to think of it, in some pictures it is rather long. I don't even want to get a visual on that. Ew!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tag, Franny! I had fun with this one. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15267747.post-1166271606146810162006-12-16T07:20:00.000-05:002006-12-16T07:20:00.000-05:00Franny, I nearly didn't get dinner tonight because...Franny, I nearly didn't get dinner tonight because of your post. I was explaining it to the boy, and he was laughing so hard that the pan he was cooking in tipped and most of the ingredients ended up on the stove. He is loving your work though :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15267747.post-1166195599394349762006-12-15T10:13:00.000-05:002006-12-15T10:13:00.000-05:00Hey you know when you are a kid, the Santa vs. Dad...Hey you know when you are a kid, the Santa vs. Daddy line is a pretty clear cut case ... there is Daddy and then there is Santa ... I used to hate this song when I was a little girl because I was like, if I see my mom kissing some other guy (even if it is Santa) there's going to be trouble! Cuz if that's the case then Santa should be on the "naughty" list himself ... and stop judging other people :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15267747.post-1166170582393002082006-12-15T03:16:00.000-05:002006-12-15T03:16:00.000-05:00Oooh, thanks for tagging me - give me a day or so ...Oooh, thanks for tagging me - give me a day or so and I'm so there.<BR/><BR/>Loving your work on that one though - you've taken it that one step further than I ever did :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15267747.post-1166119186677168032006-12-14T12:59:00.000-05:002006-12-14T12:59:00.000-05:00I'm telling you, that bearded man's just evil!!I'm telling you, that bearded man's just evil!!Rainypetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01415282957997196121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15267747.post-1166044498311503422006-12-13T16:14:00.000-05:002006-12-13T16:14:00.000-05:00you are soo funnyi always assumed that the santa w...you are soo funny<BR/><BR/>i always assumed that the santa was the daddy, and never gave it another thought.Alipurrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15374786444894161920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15267747.post-1166043398857695542006-12-13T15:56:00.000-05:002006-12-13T15:56:00.000-05:00You know, I had never analysed this particular Chr...You know, I had never analysed this particular Christmas carol.

That one's always bothered me as well . . . either the kid is pissed that Santa isn't real and it's just Daddy under that red coat, or it really is Santa and Mommy is a Ho!Mark Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269115423777245860noreply@blogger.com
