Round robins are now in full flight,
Bearing news that’s abysmally trite.
Let’s serve up the writers
For dinner, the blighters,
And invite all our friends for a bite.

I'm a little too fond of the voddy
And my sexual morals are shoddy,
But what Santa Claus brought
(Here's a startling thought)
Enhanced both my mind and my body.

So the atheists planned their displays
to cleverly squelch those clichés
     like small mangers and Christ—
     no idol sufficed
like a banner that said "Holi-days."

Her costume was principally gauze,
While her pulchritude broke several laws.
She ignited my brain
And I'm not really sane,
But we know there's no Sanity Clause.

She murmured, 'O Basil R-D,
You permit that I sit on your knee
So distinguished, if bony?
Yes, I've dumped Berlusconi!
Is Lancashire ready for me?'

Since he crafts all his gifts, they are free.
Every year, he's quite jolly, you'll see:
     when you open your gift,
     try not to be miffed
when he says, "It's all me!" with great glee.

Father Christmas, ensconced in his grotto,
Was discovered one day to be blotto
From his sixth single malt,
But remarked, 'Not my fault!
Sharing sheasonal shpirit's our motto
!'

In the news: "Old St. Nick Wins the Lotto!"
He's been spotted inside a new auto;
     he's slow-cruising for lookers,
     inexpensive old hookers—
It's the same Ho Ho Ho ostinato.

Default Mean parents

The look on his face is so priceless
He mopes on the couches just lifeless
This break is the worst
'Cause family comes first
He's spending this Christmas device-less.

Parents are just mean, aren't they, to expect their kids to unplug and spend their time with family.

Neither of my girls, though they aren't really girls any more, knows much about computers at all.But its true they can both use their thumbs on mobile phones, which I cannot. Fat thumbs I suppose.
