The Night Before a Mass Miata Christmas


‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the area

Not a vehicle was moving not even a Miata

The winter winds blew all blustery and cold

Our fun time driving put on hold

Memories of good times had by all

Will help to get us through this long winter stall

The drivers were nestled all snug in their beds

With visions of ice cream cones dance in their heads

The Miatas were covered and stored with great care

In hopes that spring time soon would be there

When out of the snow, slush, and muck

What should appear but a dull old UPS truck

The driver was merry and just a little round

But no matter the cold was dressed in shorts of brown

With a twinkle in his eye he brought to the door

Boxes and boxes of Miata parts galore

There were parts of all shapes, size, and reason

Just enough to keep greasy hands busy the rest of the winter season

So as we sit around the Christmas tree with family so dear

It’s time to start thinking about the upcoming new year

As the pages of the calendar slowly turn

We know in our hearts warm weather will return

As I lay down to dream of adventures to come, I could swear

The aroma of fresh baked cookies hung in the air

Soon we will travel from the Berkshires to the shores of Cape Cod

In our little Miatas across the state we will trod

Till once more we gather and drive out of sight

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.


My deepest apologies to Clement Clark Moore for butchering his beloved poem….I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year. I hope to see you all at the Holiday party on Saturday January 14, 2012.
