By Geri

The whole club's in a yellow, mellow mood. 

Reindeer rattle through rhythms 
while Frosty glides on sled strings. 

Chestnuts pop in syncopated patterns 
while gingerbread men take the stage. 

Hot chocolate spirits blur the room 
and eggnog ghosts stain the tables. 

The Christmas Boogie hops inside 
with a jolt of snow and sugar. 

The whole place is mistletoe madness 
and holly highs 
until Ol' Saint Nick 
says goodbye.
