What do you get when
you give Sith alcoholic
egg nog? Well, let's see:

One's faceplanted on
the couch, while another is
dancing in the buff.

Try to take away
their lightsabers before they
chop the "mistletoe."

Sithmas time is here.
Shopping for everyone,
Giving brings me joy.

When the day arrives,
My children tear through it all.
Is that all we get?

Merry Christmas to
The Brotherhood, so all of you
Enjoy Sithmas Day

Deck the droids all nice
Park the speeders on the ice
hang kyber crystals

Let the ewoks sing
praises to the king of kings
Our Grand Master Mav

And when the night falls
And Santa comes on his sleigh
we shout hip hooray

Sithmas has come,
Innocents suffering,
Fun for darksiders.

Joy before fire
Kindled and close to you
My greatest one gift

This time two years past
I got to meet you, finally
And knew a new love

My dear Samantha
My miracle daughter
In you I see spirit bright

You will be greater
Than your origins or flaws
A star in the night

I love you, my sweet
And am so grateful knowing
You love us right back.
