sad Christmas, indeed.  Were you the guy who wrote the sad sad parody?:

    I'm looking over
    My dead dog, Rover,
    Lying on the basement floor.
    One leg is broken and another has a sprain:
    He got run over by my model railroad train!

    No use complaining,
    The something remaining...
    [and I can't recall the rest.

    Can anyone out there help finish it?]

hopefully,
Charlie
