A Hot Christmas Date
‘Twas the night before Christmas
As I was getting ready for my hot date
Putting on sexy lace, hoping he’s not late
Hanging mistletoe and smiling as I wait
I hear his car pull in, he’s now at my door
I hope it’s a fun night, not sure what’s in store
I open the door, as I say, it’s been awhile
He’s dressed like an elf, with a killer smile
I make a joke of his cute elf suit and shoes
He tells me he’s working, not too amused
He’s gives me a snow globe of the North Pole
And says it's a magical place, touches his soul
We move to the couch, enjoying appetizers and wine
But keeps looking at his watch, keeping track of the time
I ask if he needs to leave early, hoping he can stay the night
He says he’s having a great time but must watch for his flight
We walk to the kitchen and stand under the mistletoe
I point up at it expecting a kiss, but instead a loud NO!
His face suddenly beet red as his eyes swell up too
Mistletoe, he is severely allergic to, I had not a clue
He says he will not be able to work with Uncle St. Nick
As he hands me his EpiPen, I give him the shot quick
We suddenly hear a loud bang and crash on my roof
As a man in a red comes down my chimney in a poof
He yells up the chimney to Liza, Fred and Harriet too
He says his reindeer don’t need to get stuck in the flue
I ask about Comet, Prancer and Vixen, to name a few
He says they retired decades ago, his reindeer are new
He sees his nephew, passed out, beet red on my floor
And tells me he needs my help as we head out the door
I stumble as I get into his flashing Christmas sleigh
As his new reindeer all line up ready to lead the way
We are out all night delivering Christmas gifts
Making sure we didn’t miss any on the list
We head back to my home on Christmas day
Where my date has been sleeping the night away
He opens the door, and gives me a huge warm embrace
As he thanks me for saving Christmas with a smile on his face
He tells his Uncle he is planning to stay here another night
And we’ll have our hot date as he winks and hugs me tight
