Biker Gnomes • Did You Know? Buying all the gifts from the song "Twelve Days of Christmas" would be about $6300. The most expensive gift would be the "swans a swimming." When the candy cane was first invented, it was in Germany and the "J" was for Jesus. The red stripes symbolized His blood. It is a tradition in Japan to eat Kentucky Fried Chicken for Christmas. The order must be placed two months in advance. The word "Christmas" comes from two words: Cristes and Maesse meaning "mass of Christ." Christmas trees usually grow for about fifteen years before they are cut. It only took six weeks for Charles Dickens to write "A Christmas Carol." (And her name wasn't even Carol!) Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer got his start as an advertising gimmick for Montgomery Ward in 1839. Visa cards are used about 6,000 times every minute during the Christmas season. The most common Christmas gift for a woman to buy her husband is a brand-new Harley-Davidsons. (OK, that one's not true.) Americans purchase 1.6 billion Christmas cards every year. Marty Edwards received no Christmas presents whatsoever last Christmas and cried himself to sleep for a month. (Ok, that one's not true either.) Toys For Tots was founded in Los Angeles, CA and 5,000 toys were collected on their first drive. The first toy donated was a handmade doll. More than 400,000 illnesses are caused by spoiled Christmas leftovers. NOTE: We know that all of these facts are true because they were harvested from the internet. PS, alien ships have landed in Milwaukee and they have abducted Willie G. Davidson. • A BSHDFC CHRISTMAS 'Twas the night before Christmas, And all through the land, All the Black Sheep were sleeping And dreaming of lamb! (with mint jelly!) Their leathers were hung in the closet with care Waiting for morning and crisp winter's air. The bikes were all nestled so snug in the garage Awaiting the others, a wild entourage. Their captain asleep in a warm weather cap Tangled in his covers and worn paper map. When out of his dreams he arose with a rumble He sputtered & spattered an unintelligible mumble! When what to his wondering eyes should appear Eighteen more bikes, with riders and gear. With one hairy thug so lively and quick He knew in a moment it must be St. Nick! All dressed in red leather, from his head to his foot His clothes were splattered with mud and with soot. A bundle of toys he had flung on his back Down the chimney he came, with a giant red sack. He spoke not a word but went straight to his work Waking the other bikers with a shove and a jerk! Then laying a finger aside of his big nose, He gave them a nod, and up the chimney they rose! They mounted steel horses with a whoop and a holler Then rolled down the road without worry or bother. "On Rooster! On Rocker! On Big Tattooed Steve! On Knuckles and Mad Dog and Buster and Cleve!" But I heard him give shout as he roared out of sight Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night! •
