A little girl and a little boy sleep, and dream of sugarplums

(by Lori Jones)

T’was the night before Christmas

And tickets were slow.
The mod sat and stared
at the screen all aglow.

Where are the customers
who always need me?
Are they home with their families?
Could that be the key?

And where are the Experts
Who always give me grief?
Is this my Christmas gift?
Have they turned over a new leaf?

The lonely mod played poorly with rhymes
Then looked out the window at the shivering pines.
A glance at the clock and she turned with a start!
She’d soon be off work, and done playing her part!

Two more hours to go, and then it’s eggnog for me.
I’ll watch Christmas Vacation; I’ll be laughing with glee.
The kiddies will open the stockings and stuff.
Milo gets his and there will be a “ruff ruff!”

Here’s hoping it’s quiet for the mod who comes next

And that the Experts and customers don’t make her perplexed

It’s been a good Christmas Eve, though I’ve worked all the day.

But I work for JustAnswer, and I’d have that no other way.

So Lindie will be here

Once I get out of sight.

Take it easy on her

As you’ve done for me tonight

Merry Christmas!

A warm and heartfelt thanks to all of our Experts for taking part in the “JustAnswer Winter Lounge Contest!”

Here is one of our favorite submissions by Maureen Kananen, cleverly written to the tune of “My Favorite Things” (The Sound of Music). Click My Favorite Things and sing along!

My Favorite Things (JustAnswer Version!)

Fungus on roses and fleas on the kitten
Rare copper kettles, the dog has been bitten
Expired visas, and cars filled with dings
JustAnswer Experts will help with such things

HRT patches and breast augmentation
Headaches and toothaches, a broken Play Station
What’s the best airfare to Bonita Springs?
JustAnswer Experts will help with such things

Eight bridesmaids dresses with blue satin sashes
Losing your mind and your hair and eyelashes
How can I plan a big trip to Beijing?
JustAnswer Experts will help with such things

Chorus:

Darn, my car died
Now my nüvi’s fried
Makes me feel so sad
I call on the Experts, the best answer kings,
And then I don’t feel so bad

Accounting and finance are always a headache
What could it be that is making my car shake?
Cell phone was dropped and it no longer rings
JustAnswer Experts will help with such things

Being an Expert on JA is cool
I’ve paid off the mortgage and installed a pool
Working from home is a dream that’s come true
I work in my jammies, my hair all askew

Paid off the loans and the kid got new braces
We finally have money to visit new places
A big thanks to Andy, and the rest of the crew
We look forward to working the whole new year through

The weather is colder, the days are much shorter
Fiscal accounting is in the 4th quarter
Must make more money for buying some clothes
Snowsuits and wool socks so  toes don’t get froze

Working with people of all different races
Seeing the smiles on all of your faces
As we work together, as one happy team
These are a few of my favorite things

Chorus:

When the bills are due
And I get the flu
Or I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad!

Happy Holidays to each of you from all of us here at JustAnswer!
