We both just had tears of laughter running down our faces recalling this Christmas Eve memory.

[LuckyCharms]

In-laws house.

House full of people. All warm and fuzzy, the Christmas spirit abounding.

Coincidently, In-laws' cocker spaniel was just neutered and was wearing the cone of shame.

Just ate a nice dinner, everyone feeling nostalgic.

I have a passable singing voice...so in the living room, I said "Can I sing a Christmas song"?

Yes, please sing it!

So I said "OK, I'll try to do it without getting emotional"

Everyone is looking at me real serious like, and I started singing gently.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
Folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Helps to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways

(Then I picked up the dog while I sang, and kind of made out like the dog was continuing the song)
Where'd my balls go?
Where'd my balls go?
Where'd my balls go?
You rotten bastards.

Kind of hard to explain in writing, but it got a good laugh and it is brought up every year since at Christmas.
