Happy Holidays my Groghead Friends

[bobarossa]

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, etc, etc to all the Grogs!

I thought there must be a Groggy Christmas carol out there somewhere but the closest my search came was this poem/carol written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in December, 1863 as he was nursing his son back to health after being injured in the Battle of New Hope Church in Virginia. 
(full article here: http://suvcw.org/mollus/art005.htm  )

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Till, ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men!"

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep;
God is not dead; nor doth he sleep!
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men!

Couldn't have said it better myself Bobarossa. The only other Grog-worthy poem I can think of would be the one about the guy from Nantucket.  ::)
