EDITORS COMMENTS
A Merry Crabmas Wish to You! 'Twas the season of Xmas, in the late, Victorian era, When this whimsical card, with a crab, did appear. With its cheerful red and orange hue, And a crustacean, in a jolly, holiday mood. This Crab, with its claws held high, Wished you a "Crabmas" full of fun and joy, A pun-derful play on the festive word, A verbal wink, a comic burst, a Christmas smirk unheard. The Crab, in its shell, so bright and bold, Sported a festive hat, a Yuletide tale to be told. Its claws, like candles, aglow with delight, Bearing the weight of the season's twinkling light. The Crab, a sea creature, a dish, a delight, Brought to the table, a feast, a sumptuous sight. But on this card, it wore a different hat, A Christmas cap, a festive one, to engage and elate. So, as you gather 'round the fireplace, With loved ones, near and dear, May this Crabmas card, with its comic verse, Bring laughter, joy, and a season's cheer. A Merry Crabmas to all, and to all a good feed! May your holidays be filled with love, joy, and a hearty spread!
