'Twas the Night Before Navidad

By: Jonmicol

'Twas the night before Navidad,

when all through my casa,

there was smells of pernil

and arroz con dulce y pasas.

My uncle and grandpa

drinking cervezas

and waiting for mami

to put the food on the mesa.

The children were looking

at el arbolito

and grandma was sippin'

on some more coquito.

The radio was blaring

aguinaldos and salsa,

while my tía yelled at my cousin

"¡No andes descalza!"

When all of a sudden

I discovered my grandpa

in the bedroom half dressed

as if he was Santa.

"So there is no santa?"

I asked, my voice low.

"Mijo, can you keep a secret?

Yo soy Santa Cló"!

From the bedroom appeared

Santa with a bag full of sorpresas.

As my brother kept asking

"Why's Santa drinking Cerveza?"

And he stumbled from there

to a chair by the tree,

he called all the children;

"¡Muchachos vengan aquí!"

"Ven Jonmicol, ven Hobri

ven Rodney y Normita,

ven Joshua, ven Vicky

ven Chonchi y Lupita.

Helena, Victor

y Deborah vengan

avancen coño

que me duele la pierna".

And when it was time

for me to sit on his lap.

He asked;

"You didn't tell anyone, verdad?"

"No Mr. Clause

your secret's safe here"

"A pues está bien....

take a sip of my beer."

He walked back to the room

when the gifts were none

and no one realized

that Santa was gone.

Except me,

because the greatest surprise of all,

was that I knew

my grandpa was Santa Clause.
