Coleman: Some Christmas Mirth, Part I 
Fri Dec 20 06:09:19 1996 
To: All 
 
Twas the night before Christmas 
And all through TFC 
Not a character was playing 
Heck, not even me. 
In their temple or guild hung everyone's stocking, 
Hoping for Amulets of True Seeing, or Blocking. 
A tree had been placed in the Ceremonial Room 
So that people would be merry, not filled with gloom. 
As I napped in my temple I awoke with a scare; 
A noise from Ceremonial! Ahhh, should I care? 
I wiped the sleep from my eyes and said 'What the heck? 
I'll walk on downstairs...couldn't hurt me to check.' 
When I looked in the room I drew back with a pause -- 
A fat man in red! Could it be Santa Clause? 
As I thought he was fake, I got ready to purge, 
But I saw a huge list -- he looked ready to splurge 
on gifts for all players. I looked slowly at him 
and I said 'You even have something for that ogre named Grymm?' 
Santa replied with a smirk 'Don't get carried away... 
but yes, even for him something is on my sleigh.' 
He looked at me, smiled, and said 'You're a God... 
check this list over, and don't be a clod.'

Hundreds of names were contained on the list, 
I don't think that any player could have been missed. 
So that you'll believe me that this list was ample, 
I'll tell you some names, just as a sample: 
For [[Tynian]], a system that never would crash, 
Next to [[Azzark]]'s name, just one thing: hard cash. 
[[Madman]], a Metallica sculpture, made of solid gold, 
[[Tokugawa]] and [[Syrinx]]: Geritol, cuz they're really that old. 
[[Jerald]], some nice stuff, but also a muzzle 
and for Retired [[Kim]], a big man with whom she could nuzzle. 
Both [[Jaator]] and [[Kaern]] would be filled with glee 
when they saw their passes letting them 'Get out of ID.' 
[[Rhina]] and her followers a leaf blower and rake 
So they could spruce up their temple, for cleanliness sake. 
For [[Kalten]]'s Ivory church, a nice big steeple, 
[[Sadow]] a book: How to Win Friends and Influence People. 
Newbies were getting recalls and magic mushrooms, 
[[Jyslin]]/[[Myronides|Myron]] and [[Emaleth|Em]]/[[Triston]], their own private rooms. 
Well this list continued, it went on and on, 
I couldn't read any more or Mr. Claus would be gone.

But I noticed one thing, and I became filled with fear: 
'Hey Santa' I spoke, 'My name isn't on here!' :( 
Santa smiled at me saying 'You don't get a thing... 
You have the best gift already: Your following!' 
I had to nod in agreement but still felt a bit gypped, 
Then I saw that some of the gifts' wrapping had been ripped. 
Before I went back to continue my long winter's nap 
I suggested 'Hey Claus we have some old Saran wrap :)' 
Then I waved and I bowed, and went to take my leave 
As I noticed him pull a walkie talkie out of his sleeve. 
He spoke into it 'Hey Rudolf, my work here is done. 
Of all the muds I visited tonight TFC's Number One!' 
Then he winked, nodded and 'Poof' he departed; 
For a second there I thought that the old man had farted. 
As he drifted out of sight he exclaimed with much glee, 
IT'S ON BACK ORDER BUT I SWEAR YOU'LL SOON GET VERSION 3!'
