Holiday and New Year Wishes

From our family to yours,

 

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

The Ammo boxes were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of F-18 Hornets danced in their heads;

And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,

Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,

Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow

Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a miniature sleigh, and eight fighter aircraft, with lowered landing gear,

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

More rapid than F-15 Eagles his fighters they came,

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

"Now, MUSTAG! now, Spitfire! now, Fork-Wuff and War-Buff!

On, Viggen! on Hog! on, Hawk and Padlock!

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!

Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild Hurricane's fly,

When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,

So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,

With the sleigh full of ammo, and St. Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof

The landing and touchdown and each was foolproof.

As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,

Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in flight gear, from his head to his foot,

And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;

A bundle of ammo he had flung on his back,

And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!

His cheeks were like roses, his breath smelt like sherry!

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,

And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,

And the Flight Goggles they encircled his head like a wreath;

He had a broad face and a little round belly,

That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,

And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,

Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

And filled all the ammo boxes; then turned with a jerk,

And laying his finger aside of his nose,

And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;

He sprang to his sleigh, to his Flight Crew gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ere he accelerated out of sight,

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!

"Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three. I preparest my aircraft to receive the Iron that will be delivered in the presence of my enemies. Thy ALCM and JDAM they comfort me. Power was given unto the aircrew to make peace upon the world by way of the sword. And when the call went out, Behold the "Sword of Stealth". And his name was Death. And Hell followed him. For the day of wrath has come and no mercy shall be given."
