Merry Merry and Happy Happy to You All!

This was first posted in 2009, when The Burrow was eight months old.  I still haven't found anything I like better to replace it.

I give you, today, my all-time favorite Xmas carol, courtesy of Walt Kelly and Pogo. Sing loudly and lustily to the tune of Deck the Halls.....

Deck us all with Boston Charlie, Walla Walla, Wash., an' Kalamazoo! Nora's freezin' on the trolley, Swaller dollar cauliflower alley-garoo!

Don't we know archaic barrel Lullaby Lilla Boy, Louisville Lou? Trolley Molly don't love Harold, Boola boola Pensacoola hullabaloo!

Bark us all bow-wows of folly, Polly wolly cracker 'n' too-da-loo! Donkey Bonny brays a carol, Antelope Cantaloupe, 'lope with you!

Hunky Dory's pop is lolly gaggin' on the wagon, Willy, folly go through! Chollie's collie barks at Barrow, Harum scarum five alarm bung-a-loo!

Dunk us all in bowls of barley, Hinky dinky dink an' polly voo! Chilly Filly's name is Chollie, Chollie Filly's jolly chilly view halloo!

Bark us all bow-wows of folly, Double-bubble, toyland trouble! Woof, woof, woof! Tizzy seas on melon collie! Dibble-dabble, scribble-scrabble! Goof, goof, goof (Picture is from Robert Sabuda's The Night Before Christmas Pop-Up Book)

  2. Woke Mr. Mature this morning by reciting The Night Before Christmas in a voice that mixed Edith Ann, Bill the Cat, and The Impressive Clergyman (Mawidge!) from Princess Bride. Lots of raspberries involved. Mr. M. was impressed. Happy December to all ya’ll. “THBBFT!”

    1. Big Cuter started his officiating at his sister's wedding with Mawwige... and just mentioning Edith Ann makes me giggle! Good morning, Mr. Mature!
