+It was the night before Christmas 
+  and all through Tec Square,
+ Not a computer was stirring,
+   even MC had a high "fair share".
+The tapes were hung on the machine with care,
+  With hopes that DUMPER would find them there.
+ When all at once to my surprise,
+   My TTY bell rang, and opened my eyes.
+I looked on the screen to see,
+  Who it was sending to me.
+ The header was missing and all that it said,
+   Was "[Here is THE GUY IN RED]".
+I quickly ran :FINGER just to see,
+  Who was on the machine besides me.
+ It was then I noticed a job named BATCH,
+   That was stuffing my DDT's PATCH/.
+To see what this was all about,
+  I thought I might :PEEK before I logout.
+ But while I was typing away,
+   I looked up to see the screen re-display.
+All that was left after a bell and flash of light
+  Was [BATCH at MIT-M(erry)C(hristmas): Happy Hackin to all...]
