A Christmas tradition

[Patman]

At least a DRN tradition....

It might cut a little too close for some but this is without a doubt the best Christmas song EVER! I really wish the video was available on line to share but it doesn't seem to be. :(

Anyway Robert Earl Keen is a great Texas singer/ song writer and this is some of his gooder stuff for Christmas.

Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk at our Christmas party
We were drinking champagne punch and homemade eggnog
Little sister brought her new boyfriend
He was a Mexican
We didn't know what to think of him until he sang
Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad

Brother Ken brought his kids with him
The three from his first wife Lynn
And the two identical twins from his second wife Mary Nell
Of course he brought his new wife Kay
Who talks all about AA
Jane's smoking while the stereo plays Noel, Noel
The First Noel

Carve the Turkey
Turn the ball game on
Mix margaritas when the eggnog's gone
Send somebody to the Quickpak Store
We need some ice and an extension cord
A can of bean dip and some Diet Rites
A box of pampers, some Marlboro Lights
Halleluja everybody say Cheese
Merry Christmas from the family

Fred and Rita drove from Harlingen
I can't remember how I'm kin to them
But when they tried to plug their motor home in
They blew our Christmas lights
Cousin David knew just what went wrong
So we all waited out on our front lawn
He threw a breaker and the lights came on
And we sang Silent Night, Silent Night, Oh Holy Night

Carve the turkey turn the ball game on
Make Bloody Mary's
Cause We All Want One!
Send somebody to the Stop 'N Go
We need some celery and a can of fake snow
A bag of lemons and some Diet Sprites
A box of Midol, some Salem Lights
Halleluja, everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the Family

Feliz Navidad

Hey Pantsman there was a package on my front porch today when I got home. Since it was hovering at zero all day long I was kind of afraid it might have frozen but much to my delight when I opened it-NO WAY it could freeze :cool:. It tastes great superchilled :cool: :nod:

Thank you very much and I hope your family has a great Christmas

BTW in the past Eric always claimed the majority of the pears- now that he is a college student I will have to hide this from him or.......

LOL! I thought that might be a nice change of pace all things considered ;)

Just a local spin on a Russian tradition. Actually had a guy get blowed up a little bit when he was doing some welding on the "equipment" over there.

Merry Christmas my friend.

RKE is some good tunes and actually a real entertainer vs. many of the canned singers.

Can't believe, with all the success you've had in the past, Pat, that you didn't post the song like you always used to ;)

Yeah, it has always been succesful :whoa:

I saw Robert Earl at Billy Bobs earlier this year, and he is a great entertainer. Love this song too :)


Merry Christmas to all my friends here
