All is forgiven, guys, and thanks for the cake. Yes, I know I was a bit grumpy in the previous author note's and that's largely because of the stress I have been under due to both work and the holidays.

I had to use tough love since it was the only way I could talk you off the ledge, Roleplayer48, and I am looking forward to whatever it is that you come up with for the next chapter of The Last Roundup (AU).


(Don't Br A Jrtk. It's Christmas!)

Ahoy everybody!
SpongeBob here! Christmas needs presents and mistletoe, sharing and caring. So during this most festive season, please, don't be a jerk.
Bring joy to the world; it's the thing to do
But the world does not revolve around you
Don't be a jerk
It's Christmas
There's a sign above the line that says "Express"
it means ten items or less
Don't be a jerk (Don't be a jerk)
It's Christmas
Be nice to babies and animals, old folks too
'Cause that's how you'd like them to treat you
Use turn signals, don't screen my calls
Don't you wreck my house when you deck the halls.

When others are talking, never interrupt
Don't put people down, or leave the toilet seat up
It's the time for family and holly and turkey
'Tis the season to be jolly; not jerky (Jolly; not jerky)
Don't dig in the cereal box, for goodness sakes
Take the prize and leave me nothing but flakes
Don't be a jerk (Don't be a jerk)
It's Christmas
Santa brought nearly every gift on your list
Why whine about the one that he missed?
Don't be a jerk (Don't be a jerk) It's Christmas
It's Christmas!
Don't be a jerk (Don't be a jerk)
It's Christmas
Don't be a jerk (Don't be a jerk)
It's Christmas
(It's Christmas!) Don't be a jerk (Don't be a jerk)
It's Christmas
Don't be a jerk (Don't be a jerk)
It's Christmas
