Hey guys, welcome to Off the Great Wall. I'm Dan. I'm Mike.
And around the holiday times, we want to wish everybody a happy holidays.
That's right. And we've got a little something special for you guys. You know the story,
what's that story? T'was the night before Christmas and all through the house,
not a creature was stirring, not even a...
Dragon?
What?
Well, we have our own adaptation of that fun little story. Here it is. Check it out.
T'was the night before Christmas when all through the house,
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The soy milk and mochi were set out with care in hopes that old man Christmas soon would be there.
The children had finished their homework in bed while visions of bubble tea danced in their heads.
And mom in her curlers and I in my cap had just settled down for a long winter's nap.
When out on the street came the crash of a gun, I ran to the window to see what went on.
And I saw in the moonlight clear as day two silvery dragons and a long golden sleigh
with a little old driver and eight tiny masked elves.
I knew right away it was the old man himself.
They land on the rooftop with hardly a sound.
Eight tiny black ropes make their way to the ground.
More rapid than eagles, his ninja elves glide down to the doorway.
They ninja'd inside.
I drew in my head and ran down the stairs and saw old man Christmas was already there.
Dressed all in silk, in long red and white robes,
his hair and white beard were just touching his toes.
He bowed from the waist and then reached up his sleeve
and took out the list he makes each Christmas Eve.
He gave me a smile and said,
Kids with straight A's, for all their hard work, they get presents today.
But make sure they still get a chance to have fun.
They'll get into college when all said and done.
And as he was speaking, I looked over to see the ninja elves putting gifts under the tree.
With a wink of his eye and a nod of his head, he and the ninjas returned to the sled.
Then I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
Hey guys, just a disclaimer.
That's not actually a real Chinese legend.
Bummer.
Sorry, buddy.
Oh, well.
But that's just our fun little adaptation.
