La Night Before Christmas e-bog

When my father passed away, he left behind some old newspaper clippings. One was a poem that was printed in 1948 in the Brownsville Herald. It was a version of "e;T'was The Night Before Christmas"e; in Tex-Mex lingo. In South Texas, a great majority of Texans are of Mexican descent and most are also bilingual. Mixing both English and Spanish words in their conversations is very common. We call it Tex-Mex. When I saw the poem in the clipping 74 years later, I decided to try my spin at it. My project evolved into a much longer and very humorous poem with illustrations. The ending where the wife tells her hubby to "e;Tocame el Wiwicho"e; is hilarious. In Spanish, "e;tocame"e; can mean to touch or it can also mean to play, like a musical instrument. What is El Wiwicho? Well, that's something you'll figure out when you read the poem.
