Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays! was created by argonaut
My personal life has been "high-maintenance" lately, and I haven't been very active on the forum. I'm hoping to do some catching up over the next few days -- reading the new stories, joining in some of the conversations, and hopefully finishing the new chapter of "The Supergirl of Smallville."

In the meantime, here's my traditional holiday poem -- SWM's equivalent of all those cheesy Christmas specials on TV:

A CHRISTMAS KARA-L

'Twas the night before Christmas at Argonaut's house.
Argo logged off with a click of the mouse.
He'd read all the posts at his favorite site,
And now what to do with the rest of the night?
He straightened the star at the top of his tree
And put on his Christmas with Elvis CD.
Stoking the blaze on the hearth with a log,
He poured some Jack Daniels into his 'nog,
Then settled way back in his comfiest chair
As strains of "Blue Christmas" were filling the air.
Maybe he'd have a late snack by and by
(There was leftover turkey, and blueberry pie)
But for now he leaned back and rested his eyes ...
Then he sat upright again in surprise.
What's that? he wondered. What's going on?
For he clearly heard footsteps out on the lawn.
He strode to the window and peering outside,
He beheld ... Could it be? His eyes opened wide.
For standing outside in the winter-y cold
Was a beauty whose hair fell in ringlets of gold.
Her cape was bright red -- her miniskirt too --
And her blouse -- like her eyes -- was a deep, vivid blue.
And enblazoned across her superlative chest
Argonaut saw a familiar red "S."
He blinked -- then again -- then he let out a yell,
For he knew right away it was KARA ZOR-EL.
The damsel leapt up from the snow-covered ground
And in through the window she came in a bound.
She shook a light dusting of snow from her cape
And giggled as Argonaut stood there agape,
She presented a gift, while curtsying low,
Wrapped in red paper and tied with bow.
"And now," said the damsel, "I really must go!
I'm flying all over the planet tonight,
Visiting everyone else from that site:
LFAN and SARGE and ADMIN NUMBER TWO,
JD and GEEK SEVEN and ACE and MARKNEW!"
With a toss of her head and a wink of her eye
She sprang through the window and into the sky.
And as she flew off Argonaut heard her say
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! UP, UP, AND AWAY!”

Happy holidays to everyone at SWM!

Here's to another four years, at least, of this holiday tradition.

Much like A Charlie Brown Christmas, this is required for each holiday.
