Well, it's surely the *night* before Christmas somewhere in the world right now! Understand, there are people who really do talk like this 
'Twas the night before Christmas
- Cajun Style
'Twas the night before Christmas
An' all t'ru de house
Dey don't a t'ing pass
Not even a mouse
De chirren been nezzle
Good snug on de flo'
An' Mamm pass de pepper
T'ru de crack on de do'.
Den Mama in de fireplace
Done roas' up de ham
Stir up de gumbo
An' make bake de yam.
Den out on de by-you
Dey got such a clatter
Make soun' link old Boudreau
Done fall off his ladder.
I run like a rabbit
To got to de do'
Trip over the dorg
An' fall on de flo'.
As I look out de do'
In de light o' de moon
I t'ink "Manh, you crazy
Or got ol' too soon."
Cuz dere on de by-you
W'en I stretch ma' neck stiff
Dere's eight alligator
A pullin' de skiff.
An' a little fat drover
Wit' a long pole-ing stick
I know r'at away
Got to be ole St. Nick.
Mo' fas'er and fas'er
De 'gator dey came
He whistle an' holler
An' call dem by name:
"Ha Gaston!
Ha, Tiboy!
Ha, Pierre an' Alcee'
Gee, Ninette!
Gee Suzette!
Celeste and Renee!"
"To de top o' de porch
To de top o' de wall
Make crawl, alligator
An' be sho' you don' fall."
Like Tante Flo's cat
T'ru de treetop he fly
W'en de big ol' houn' dorg
Come a run hisse'f by
Like dat up de porch
Dem ole 'gator clim!
Wit' de skiff full o' toy
An' St. Nicklus behin'.
Den on top de porch roof
It soun' like de hail
W'en all dem big 'gator
Done sot down dey tail.
Den down de chimney
I yell with a bam
An' St. Nicklus fall
An' sit on de yam.
"Sacre!" he axclaim
"Ma pant got a hole
I done sot ma'se'f
On dem red hot coal."
He got on his foots
An' jump like a card
Out to de flo'
Where he lan' wit' a SPLAT!
He was dress in musk-rat
From his head to his foot
An' his clothes is all dirty
Wit' ashes an' soot.
A sack full o' playt'ing
He t'row on his back
He look like a burglar
An' dass fo' a fack.
His eyes how dey shine
His dimple how merry!
Maybe he been drink
De wine from blackberry.
His cheek was like a rose
His nose like a cherry
On secon' t'ought maybe
He lap up de sherry.
Wit' snow-white chin whisker
An' quiverin' belly
He shook w'en he laugh
Like de stomberry jelly!
But a wink in his eye
An' a shook o' his head
Make my confi-dence dat
I don' got to be scared.
He don' do no talkin'
Gone straight to his work
Put playt'ing in sock
An' den turn wit' a jerk.
He put bot' his han'
Dere on top o' his head
Cas' an eye on de chimney
An' den he done said:
"Wit' all o' dat fire
An' dem burnin' hot flame
Me I ain' goin' back
By de way dat I came."
So he run out de do'
An' he clim' to de roof
He ain' no fool, him
For to make one more goof.
He jump in his skiff
An' crack his big whip.
De 'gator move down
An' don' make one slip.
An' I hear him shout loud
As a splashin' he go
"Merry Christmas to all
'Til I saw you some mo'!"

'Twas the night before Christmas, and throughout Clusterville
Ch'ers were headbanging, Swallowing pills.
Shooting up Imi and snorting Zomig
Those on prednisolone eating like pigs
Some were still sleeping snug in their beds,
The beast hadn't started to dance in their heads.
Dr's Goadsby and Sewell in their thinking caps
Were dreaming of ONSI and funding for MAPS
When out in the garden I heard such a clatter,
Mumbling and cursing, "STFU Chuck" chatter.
I opened the window, looked out at the night
But nothing of interest crossed my line of sight
Then the moon on the noggin of DJ our hero
Reminded me that the damn tank was near zero,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But the OUCH racing car and the OUCH volunteers
With a little old driver, holding tight to the wheeyul,
I knew in a moment it must be our Beeeyul.
More welcome than sunbeams the OUCH team they came,
and nodded acceptance when they heard their name:
"Now Patty! Now Gator!
Grab an oar and start rowing!
On, Brian! On, Jeannie!
Our Donna's teams growing!
From the top of your noggin
To the back of your eye
Now Pain away! Fear away!
Let that Beast DIE!"
And then, in a flash, I heard on the ceiling
The sad plaintive cry of my last o2 squealing.
I drew in my head and was crying without sound,
When down the chimney came St Ben with a bound.
He wwas covered with goodies from his head to his shoe,
With masxs, and tubing and bags for O2.
A bundle of regulators strung round his tummy
And an endless supply of O2 for THIS mummy!!
With my Christmas sorted I turned round to see
All Clusterville smiling and laughing with glee.
They all had a clustermasx and all were pain free
The best Christmas present wasn't under any tree
Donna and team had some time for their selves
Caging the beast was a job for the elves
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of my fear
Brought low by our Donna and her volunteers
The Beast was still living, he isn't yet dead
But we're working on ways to keep him out of our heads
Be it seeds, shrooms or Imi, Verap or Zomig
WE are gaining in power.. that beast ain't so big.
His one greatest weakness is our unity
He fights alone but we fight as FAMILY!
With the OUCH team's job done they said their goodbyes
And away they all drove in the OUCH car through the skies
But I heard Donna exclaim, 'fore Beeyul drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and PAIN FREE days and nights!!"

Got the Gumbo on the stove, Christmas music on the Hi-Fi and the bonfire on the ready in the backyard.
I swear, when I die I'm certain that I'm going to Hell because this is Heaven.
Merry Christmas everyone.
