Thanks for the post. Don't ask me why because I don't know, but instead of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" my Dad used to recite this poem to us on Christmas Eve before tucking us in. He was a life long sea Captain who spent a great deal of his time in Alaska.....mostly in bars.

A couple of my favorite Robert Service verses... Men of the High North Men of the High North, the wild sky is blazing; Islands of opal float on silver seas; Swift splendors kindle, barbaric, amazing; Pale ports of amber, golden argosies. Ringed all around us the proud peaks are glowing; Fierce chiefs in council, their wigwam the sky; Far, far below us the big Yukon flowing, Like threaded quicksilver, gleams to the eye. The Spell of the Yukon There's a land where the mountains are nameless, And the rivers all run God knows where; There are lives that are erring and aimless, And deaths that just hang by a hair; There are hardships that nobody reckons; There are valleys unpeopled and still; There's a land -- oh, it beckons and beckons, And I want to go back -- and I will.
