'Twas the night before Christmas, we’re RAW through the house

Not a creature was eaten...no NOT in OUR house;


The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that Raw Gingerbread soon would be there;


The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of cacao brownies danced in their heads;

And mamma looking sexy, and I lost my fat,

Had just settled down for a long winter's “nap”,

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.


Away to the window I flew like a flash,

Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow

Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,


But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny RAWndeers,

With a little cute driver, so lively and glowing,

I knew in a moment it must be Alissa Cohen.

More rapid than FedEx her Rawndeers they came,

And she whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;


"Now, Snowdrop! now, Starfire! now, Tigger and Megazelle!

On, Eva! on MindyLee! on, Justine and Shell!

To the dehydrator! to the vitamix, they call!

Now eat away! drink away! eat away all!"


As spinach leaves before the Green Smoothie they’ll fly,

When they meet with an obstacle, a rubber scraper we’ll try,

So up to the rim of the glass with the brew,

With the sleigh full of treats, and green moustache too.



And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof

The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,

Down the chimney Alissa came with a bound.

She was dressed all in green, from her head to her foot,

And her clothes were all earth-friendly like she promotes in her book;

A bundle of truffles she had flung on her back,

And she looked like a movie star just opening her pack.


Her eyes -- how they twinkled! her dimples how merry!

Her cheeks were like roses, and nose like a cherry!

Her mouth was drawn up like a bow,

And the whites of her eyes were like new fallen snow;

Her pockets were bulging with little bags of fudgeballs,

Perfect for energy as she decked “the halls”.


She had a glow to her face that seemed like a halo,

Then she danced and shook, like that crazy girl JayLo.

She was happy and energetic, a right jolly young elf,

And I laughed when I saw her, in spite of myself;

A wink of her eye and a twist of her head,

Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;


She spoke wise words, about enzymes and ozone,

And filled all the stockings; with pizza and calzone!

And laying her finger aside of her nose,

And giving a nod, up the chimney she rose;

She sprang to her sleigh, to her team gave a whistle,

And they flew off to Maine like the down of a thistle.


But I heard her exclaim, as she drove out of sight,

"Happy Holidays to all, and to all a Raw Life."

Nope. I don't mind one bit. Emailed a copy to Alissa earlier, but don't know if she's seen it yet or not. Glad to have added some holiday cheer! :D
