Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!
From KR Ranch - Kassie Bears and NorthValleyHatco

Following the tradition of the last few years I have included my Christmas poem that I share with family and friends. I hope it puts a smile on your face and gives you a jolly laugh.

We have one more addiction to the family here at KR Ranch please let us introduce to you (who have not met him yet.) Texas Mythical Drummer - colt born September 5, 2006 at 6am; Mare - Mythical Dawn and sire - Mystical War Drum. The first offspring of our stud Mystical War Drum.

hugs kassie

T’was the night before Christmas
When KR Ranch took the reins

Narrated by hubby Rodney

T’was the night before Christmas and all through the ranch
Not a knicker, a bark, a meow or a woo
The animals were tucked away all snug in their beds
While visions of bones, catnip, hay and seeds danced in their heads
The stockings were hung in the sun room with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas for one year, wouldn’t be bare
Asleep in my bed, nestled down for the night
A blood curdling scream, woke me up in a fright

A clatter, a bang, an “uumph” came from the roof
Santa must have tripped that pudgy round goof
He rolled cross the shingles and clung to the trough
Then 8 tiny hooves, pushed Santa off in a huff
He hit the ground rolling and stopped in the snow
So much for his entrance, I guess there’s no “HO HO”
I ran to his aid and picked him up by the britches
I looked at his head and “by Jeez” he will needs stitches

Kassity runs out, first aid kit in hand
She begins to sew and when done, Santa wobbles then stands
His head it is patched with his suit still a tattered
The reindeer shout from the roof “Hey Santa, what’s the matter?”
With shrugging shoulders and a look of dismay
Then struts up old Rudolph and yells, “hey Where’s our hay?”
You fed us in Greece, you fed us in Wales
All that we want is a nice juicy bale

I patted poor Santa’s shoulder and to the barn I did point
There stood the horses making a sign, that said “Destiny’s Joint”
The reindeer all clamored and raced for the hay
Destiny took the orders, 9 specials of the day
Now, Santa all confused he stormed into the house
I think he was liquored, I think he maybe soused?

The dogs barking stop, for in the hall they did linger
Santa grinned as he turned, “Oh my gosh! Santa gave them the finger”
Now, Ginger and Lacey looked up in shock
Wondering why we weren’t quicker at the throwing of the lock
The old man stomped into the kitchen, where he raided the freezer
I had to hold Kassity back, from smokin’ the old geezer

To the couch he did stride where he plunked himself down
and said “To heck with my ride, I’ll just stay in this town”
“ My sleighs trashed and the reindeer are too fat”
His three chins did waggle as he sulked where he sat

I looked up to see Kassity with a glint in her eye
And I said, “ Well, lets give it a try.”
We gathered our tools, and out the door we did race
And started working on the sleigh at a furious pace
We tipped the sleigh upright; it’s rails all were bent
Speeding through our work, we fixed each little dent

Kassity gathered our team, cuz the reindeer wouldn’t do
But seven horses, two dogs, two cats, three rabbits, a cockatoo,
and one little morning Dove named woo woo.
She lined them all up, and strapped them all in
I ran to get Santa’s red suit and some stuffing too
Kassity grabbed up the reins, and she gave them a snap
I gripped the sleigh tightly and said, ”Holy crap.”
I looked at the toys, as we then started to move
It just took a minute to find the right groove

The faster we went, we actually started to rise
Up in the air to my shock and surprise
The common call out is not what you’ll hear this year
But if you strain just right and bring your hand to your ear
Not, On Dancer, On Prancer, On Comet and Cupid
Most likely you’ll hear Kassity yell, “This is going to be a great year”
So, “On Desty, On Mystic, On Rocky and Dawn, On Angie and Bliss.”
With little Texas in the mix

“Who did I miss?”
“Oh!”
“On Ginger, On Lacey”
“On Bandit and Little Miss”
“On Buck, On Billy, and Grey Gracie
“Were is Little Miss?”
Oh Little Miss gets to ride with the rabbits in the back
Rummaging through the toys, she’ll get lost in that sack
“Ok, Santa you can call the last, On Woo woo” said Kassity
“On Who?” asked Santa
“Not On Who, On Woo woo” answered Kassity
“Oh woo who?” said confused Santa
“NO, WOO WOO!” replied Kassity
“You who”? said very confused Santa
“NOT YOU WHO” WOO WOO!!” yelled Kassity
“Never mind.” said Kassity and Rodney

Now, if you look really close, that’s not Rudolph’s red nose
But a Cockatoo named Marshal in red panty hose
So when we come by your house on this fate filled night
Keep the cookies and milk right out of site
But please put out a wonderful feed
Of bones, hay, carrots, bowl of cream and don’t forget a full cup of seed
And as we fly away don’t look to closely at the sack
Cuz that’s not the moon, it’s just Santa’s flashing his butt out the back
But Kassity grabs Santa’s pants and gives him heck
“You can’t do that in Canada, not even over Quebec!”
From Ontario to the Yukon, and squeaking the US in too
Then head overseas, something we’ve always wanted to do
The shout from the sky as you watch us pass by
Is a little out of the ordinary, but might bring a tear to your eye
“Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good cheer
Pass along a pint of Guinness, and have a great new year.!”

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours wherever they are
From all of us to ours

Kassity and Rodney (the Humans)
Destiny, Mystic, Dawn, Angie, Texas, Rocky and Bliss (the Horses)
Ginger and Lacey (the Dogs)
Bandit, and Little Miss (the Cats)
Buck, Billy and Grey Gracie (the rabbits)
Marshal (the Cockatoo)
And Woo Woo (the Morning dove)
