Twas the Night before Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the forum
I was viewing the messages about silver and aurum.
My detectors were all hung on the wall with care,
In hopes that spring soon would be here.
The members were all posting about reviews they had read,
While visions of new detectors danced in their head.
Beefcake was sharing some great pictures and vids
of all the wonderful gifts he bought for “Clad For Kidsâ€
When on one of the boards there arose such a clatter
I clicked on the topic to see what was the matter.
Away to the messages I flew like a flash,
Had someone found gold, or a new detector to bash!
I scanned through the board I needed to know.
Why all the responses strung out below?
When what to my wondering eyes should appear?
But a new topic Have You Been Good This Year?.
At first after reading what I thought was a trick.
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his replies came.
All the members he knew, and called them by name!
Now catskillcomics! Now SeabeeRon! Now Diggler! Now Yazoo!
On pulltabsteve! On milco! On Schrecky and Bell-Two!
To the old park, to the lot by the mall,
Now swing away! Swing away! Swing away all
The final message he left soon brought a tear,
As he talked of a cache, the find of the year.
The members got quiet and thought for awhile,
Then the jolly old elf said, with a wink and a smile
For all of you who seek riches to mound.,
The greatest find of them all has already been found.
Remember the treasure is not coins or gold.
It's the friendships here on the forum that you hold.
And I heard him exclaim as he logged out that night,
Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night
