History of The Scallion, Part 6

The 2003 Christmas letter was a hard one to top. We were strongly considering adapting a poem, and we wanted it to be The Raven. We worked on it for literally minutes, and when we realized that all we could come up with was the first line—and we were basically not going to change that line at all—we decided we'd better try something else. I, of course, suggested haiku, but we had just done that in 2002, and how can you fill up a whole letter in haiku anyway?

Suddenly, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas came into my head, and before I knew it, the letter had practically written itself.

Here it is.
