The Night Before Christmas – X-Files Style!
Twas the night before X-mas and all through the building called Hoover
Not an Agent was stirring, not even a Super Soldier
The cases were filed, the reports were all written
Only Mulder and Scully worked through the season.
The Lone Gunmen were nestled all around their computer
Attempting a sequel to 'First-Person Shooter'
Doggett and Reyes both were on-call
While Scully and Mulder headed to Utah.
Krycek and Cancer-Man conspired in corners
While Deep Throat and X awaited their orders
Skinner warned Mulder he was on Vacation
And was not to be bothered with his wild creations.
Clones of Samantha, working like elves
Hoped that the Bounty Hunters would stiletto themselves.
While Scully told Mulder to use his brain
Santa an EBE? He must be insane!
Covarubbias played both sides of the card
When CGB Spender finds out she will be scarred
Mulder just grinned and continued to drive
He knew Scully'd believe when they arrived
Spender and Fowley followed in their dust
Eager to win the Syndicate's trust
Mulder and Scully, not knowing a thing
Continued their drive to Farmington
Mrs. Scully put Baby William to bed
Along with visions of Santa inside his head
While Scully complained to Mulder once more
That Christmas was no time to explore.
But Mulder just smiled and gave her a wink
Scully sat back, not knowing what to think
The snow blanketed the world, white as a dove
While a strange light glided about in the sky far above.
It was a Quarter of Twelve when the Agents arrived
Mulder determined to not be deprived
This year he would see the jolly old elf
And prove he was not as he presented himself
Far from being Episcopalian
Mulder figured he was closer to Alien!
So together the agents stood in the snow
And waited for Santa to descend below
They watched in wonder as he stepped from his sleigh
Eight reindeer lined up just the right way
His cheeks were red, his eyes were blue
Just like the Santa everyone knew
Together they stared as he delivered the toys
Both feeling full of Holiday joys
In silence they slipped back in their car
Eager to be quickly afar
Scully was stunned because Santa existed
She was so moved that her eyes were all misted
While Mulder was shocked by what he saw
Not a green or gray man but just a grandpa
They drove away into the night
And didn't give Santa another sight
Santa just smiled and climbed into his sleigh
Which quickly changed into a saucer and flew away.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Good Night!
Happy Holidays, 2010
