I forgot to post this last year, but I did post this two years ago. I regret to inform you, effective immediately, I'll not be seen in the South this Christmas Eve. Since the birth rate in the South goes unabated My contract to deliver was renegotiated. I'll now serve only the children in the North I feel my time will be better spent henceforth. As part of my new and better contract, I get longer breaks for enjoying free snacks. Your children will still be served with good cheer By my third cousin, Bubba Claus (Sir Balladeer). His side of the family is from the South Pole. Delivering toys to children is also his goal. But... there are a few differences between us. The Grinch won't be stealing from Bubba's 4X4 sleigh, He has a gun rack in the back and bumper stickers that say, "With this Bubba Claus you shouldn't be messin' "Cuz these toys are insured by Smith and Wesson." Instead of milk and cookies, Bubba Claus wants RC, Pork rinds (or a moon pie) on the fireplace are sweet. And Bubba ‘Deer doesn't smoke a pipe, understand? He likes chewing snuff; please provide a spit can. Bubba's sleigh is pulled by coon dogs with flop ears, I once made the mistake of loaning him reindeer. I'm training replacements for my own Christmas sleigh Because Blitzen is mounted over Bubba's fireplace. You won't hear, "On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen" When Bubba Claus comes to your house, be sure to listen. "On Earnhardt, on Wallace, on Martin and Labonte. On Rudd, on Jarrett, on Elliott and Petty." The traditional "Ho, ho!" has been replaced by "Yee Haw!" And you are likely to hear "Merry Christmas to y'all!" And, as required by the Southern highway safety laws, Yosemite Sam mud flaps on the sleigh say "Back Off." The sleigh has six running lights for all kinds of weather A Ford logo with lights that race through the letters, And a caricature of me which I find quite bad, Peeing with a grin on our friend, poor old Toerag. The Christmas movie classic "It's a Wonderful Life" Will not be shown in the South's viewing area that night. Instead, "Boss Hogg Saves Christmas" and then, more, "Smokey and the Bandit", Parts 1 through 4. Bubba Claus hasn't a belt on his red suit made from jeans, Turn your wife and kids away when he bends under the tree. And his favorite elf, Sunshine, will be shotgun rider, As she swills down gallons of their moonshine cider. No songs like "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town." AM stations play others way down in the South. "Bubba Claus Shot the Jukebox," and a similar song, "Grandma Got Run'd Over By an Antlered Coon Dog" Merry Christmas y'all, and to all good cheer, You'll be in good hands with old Balladeer. Just look for him soon in your stretch of woods, Balladeer Bubba Claus will treat'cha real good. Ohhh, Bubba Claus ‘De-e-e-e-e-e-r, I'm waiting for my presents! heh |

I'm so sorry, Santa, but I must complain Your trips way down South may be a real pain But it seems to me you're just being lazy Abdication to Deer is just downright crazy! For how can kids write to old Bubba-deer? You know how much mail you get every year... There's just one Santa, but Bubbas galore Why, there's at least 30 in each Walmart store! Can you imagine the Post Office confusion If you insist on this vacation delusion? Letters from kids with their latest requests Will be leaving mail carriers quite stressed! With four or five Bubbas on every street And coon dogs on every truck they meet How is it that they'll ever be clear On which Bubba is THE Bubba-Deer? So sorry, dear Santa, you must get to work Quit thinking of slacking and being a jerk! The warm southern climate will thaw out your toes And it's only one night, as everyone knows. Surely you can give that? Just a few hours a year? Don't desert the south to ole Bubba-Deer!!! |

Oh me! Oh my! How can this be? I don’t live in the north I don’t live in the south I think I live somewhere in-between Oh me! Oh my! Does this mean they will pass right over me? Cause if Santa ain’t a comin’ to my house I’m goin’ out and buy A brand new car, a mink coat, diamonds A new wall to wall TV A brand new house in Beverly Hills A cruise around the world AND............ Now let me see....... Which Santa do I charge this to? Hummmmmmmmmm............. Love Bon-Bon  |

Well, there goes the neighborhood...the sailor is home from the sea. Don;t worry, Mike. Bubba Claus have some real special gifts just for you...a month's supply of fresh corncobs, three cans of Left Guard, and a wall-size picture of Toerag picking his nose. No need to thank me...I see the tears of gratitude from here. MERRY CHRISTMAS, barnacle belcher!!  |

I want to thank every one of you for making me feel welcome. It has been too long since I've been here. I hope all the new people have learned that, of Balladeer, Toerag and me, only I can be trusted by the women with their most intimate secrets. So, ladies and vamps, please send me those secrets before Christmas. |
