A Christmas Story From Germany

‘Twas the night before Christmas in the little town of Oberflugelschweinsaxenmitcracklingewurst. (There are some that are much longer; it isn’t the worst) Now hier ist ze haus of ze happy family SCHMIDT Und Herr Schmidt mit rosenconk giving ze gluwein a hit Ze Schmidt kinder all excited - Santa Claus kommin to town Und everyone so merry, mit big smiles, und never a frown Und zere in ze garten ze liddle haus you know what for Zose are ze shoes of Frau Schmidt sticken aus unter ze door Und now here ist gekommin Santa Claus on der grosse toboggan He is singin Oh! so merry cos he also had a noggin See ze reindeer geklompin uberhead, leaving Lufthasa standingk Zen down zey are kommin - all ready fur ze Landingk Ach! Meine Gott! Zey are heading for ze liddle haus in ze garten! Kablunden! Blitzen ! Alles Kaput! Ze liddle haus Ist geflattened Und Frau Schmidt ist runningk aus mit ze knickers round ze ankles! Zat’s enough to spoil your Christmas; in ze snow it really rankles Fater Christmas zen ist sayingk: "Shtupid dumkopf reindeer - Heraus! I gave you clear instruction to be landing on ze SCHMIDT Haus !!!!!"
