The night before Christmas...

Dignified but Approachable
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the land
Folks were playing and grinning with tone that was grand.
AX8's and Axe II's and Axe III's were exulted,
And some did play gladly on Axe-Fx Ultras.

Santa flew by with stuff made by his elves,
While kids slept and dreamed of a sweet FC-12.
Some hoped it would come dressed in bright Christmas wrap,
While others, quite frankly, did not give a crap.
They could write one more thing off of their bucket list.
It would come when it came, and they wouldn't be pissed.

Then up on the roof their arose such a noise!
I looked up to see it was one of the boyz.
Some guy from New Hampshire passing out Fractal hats
From a sleigh that was pulled by a couple of cats.

"On Dasher! On Dancer! On Prancer and Vixen!
On tone and distortion and alias fixin'!"
But I had no chimney to catch a cat hoof,
So he took out an Axe, made a hole in my roof.

And through that great hole, what did I see appear?
A new Fractal T-shirt and a rackfull of gear!
He hummed as he worked, a right jolly gear slinger,
But I had no beer, so he gave me the finger.

Then a cat coughed a hairball and pulled at the sleigh,
And the man with his goodies flew swiftly away.
But I heard him exclaim, with a glow on his cheek,
"Merry Christmas to all, and new firmware next week!"



Have a wonderful day, whether you celebrate Christmas or not. And thank you for making this a great place to be.
 
Way to spin Christmas Gold from a overused hack concept......
The image of Santa Cliff flipping the bird for a lack of beer will be burned into my brain forever.
 
Thanks, guys! I was sitting here last night. All the presents were wrapped, and I'd just cleaned fresh cat puke out of my daughter's bed and put on fresh sheets so she could take a nap before working her graveyard shift. As I stared at the screen — and my Stack-o'-Frac on the credenza — the poem wrote itself.
 
We had a family gathering and dinner last night and I'm still recovering....I've been in training for several weeks for this event (lol) and still wasn't prepared for the massive intake :eek:

Good job Rex, very clever...!

Thanks!

This is the first Christmas in ages that we haven't had to travel long-distance to get to someone's house. Which is great, especially since my daughter's birthday is Christmas Eve, much of which she usually spends stuck in the back seat of a car. I'm sitting here with a fresh-brewed mocha cappuccino in my hand, and I'm still in my bathrobe. :cool::guitar:
