Twas the night before Christmas, and all 'cross the net, (Wintersheart)
No RSS updates, and so no shows to get. (Mr. Bob)
The iPods were docked to the computers with care, (Barely Podcasting)
In hopes that P Dilly soon would be there. (Tvindy)

All the Casters were nestled all snug in their beds, (Brother Osric)
While visions of Microphones danced in their heads. (mrsb)
And mamma in her ipod, 80 gigs vast (Rubberhead)
We had just settled in to finish our casts. (Laurence Simon)

When on my computer the hard drive did clatter, (Blissfully Unfulfilled)
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. (Juliann)
Fingers on my keyboard they flew like a flash, (Laieanna)
It'd just be my luck if Windows did crash. (Eclectic Mix)

But the moon through the window on my computer below, (Twilight)
showed an empty podcatcher, with not a one show. (comedy4cast)
But then, what to my wondering eyes should appear, (DiggersStory)
But a great giant pickle, and eight tiny reindeer! (Dani)

With a little old driver, so lively and quick, (Philosophy Guy)
I knew in a moment it must be St Pick! (Zedcaster)
More rapid than broadband his casters they came, (Geek Acres)
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name! (Tony -FanboySmackdown)

Now Rob Walch! Now Eley! Now Hutchins and Sigler! (Mostly News)
On Clinton, On Ellis! On Leo and Digger! (Brother Osric)
And down through the modem, through the firewall! (Lynnette from SCRAPcast)
Now download 'em! Download 'em! Download 'em all!" (Jen and Corey)

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, (KevinLeeC)
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. (Planet Retcon)
So up to the rooftop the casters they flew, (SysTris)
With the jar full of Casts, and P Dilly too. (KC Weather)

I heard on the rooftop, the shows I loved most! (Mostly News)
The talking and laughing of each beloved host! (Dani)
As I drew in my head, and was turning around, (Thats good to know)
Down the chimney P Dilly came with a bound. (Brother Osric)

He was dressed all in green, from his head to his foot, (Shelly)
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot. (Zedcaster)
A bundle of Feeds he had flung on his back, (Slusy)
And he looked like a pickle, like a podcasting snack. (PNR Mikey)

His eyes-how they twinkled! Green pimples how merry! (The Right Rev Chumley)
His cheeks were like roses, his nose a green cherry! (Dry Shave, Karen)
He held a wide smile, from his nose to his chin. (RL Burt)
And the beard that he wore, was green as a gherkin. (the Keeme)

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, (Allie)
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath. (John)
He had a green face and a little round belly, (The Diva)
That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly. (Laieanna)

He was chubby and plump, with a jar full of pickles, (Mrs b )
And I laughed when I saw him, just like i'd been tickled! (Blissfully Unfulfilled)
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, (The Half (Me-Saj) )
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. (The Half (Jason) )

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, (Eclectic Mix)
And filled all the ipods, then turned with a jerk. (Comedy4Cast)
And laying his finger aside of his nose, (KevinLeeC)
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose! (Worlds of Wayne)

He sprang to his sleigh, and the podcasters whistled, (Brother Osric)
And away they all flew like guided cruise missile. (Barely Podcasting)
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight, (Random)
"Happy Podding to all, and to all a good-night!" (P-Dilly)

I claim the following:

"All the Casters were nestled all snug in their beds"



Something about Casters in beds makes me get warm and fuzzy.

[tvindy]

Just a suggestion. Perhaps instead of asking each person to choose a single line, you could have everyone read through the full poem (pausing between each line), and then you could choose the best-sounding ones yourself. That would also give you a chance to select voices that sound well when following one another. (For example, you could alternate male and female voices.)

This is the line I'd like: "In hopes that P Dilly soon would be there."

[mrsb]

"While visions of microphones danced in their heads"

The iPods were docked to the computers with care,
