For many years the editor of the El Paso, TX paper published this poem yearly at Xmas time. It will be appreciated by everyone, I hope, throughout the region.
Merry Christmas Amigos
Tis the night before Christmas and all through the casa,
Not a creature is stirring, Caramaba! Que Pasa?
The stockings are hanging, con mucho cuidado,
In hopes that St. Nicholas will feel obligado.
To leave a few cosas aqui and alli,
For Chico y Chica (and something por mi!)
Los ninos are snuggled all safe in their camas
(Some in camisas and some in pajamas).
Their little cabezas are full of good things,
Todos esperan que Santa will bring!
Santa is down at the corner saloon
(muy boracho since mid afternoon);
Mama is sitting beside la ventana,
Shining her rolling pin para manana,
When Santa will come en un manner extrano.
Lit up like the Star on Mountain cantando,
Y Mama lo manda to bed with a right,
Merry Christmas a todos y todos a good night!
