Night before Christmas - a Wallie tradition
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the dwelling, a couple decided their home they'd be selling
Their stockings were hung by the chimney with care cause they knew they'd be dried by morning from all that scorched air
The homeowners were lying, not snug in their beds, while visions of radiant danced in their heads
"Our feet are so cold" they often would moan, "Why'd we pick scorched air when we built our home?"
"They told us we'd love it, the cost was so nominal. Too bad the performance is so abominable."
Then out of the basement there came such a clatter, they ran down to stairs to see what was the matter
The husband and wife flicked on the the bare light and next to their furnace they saw such a sight
A tall and strange man with a most friendly smile stood next to some books in a teetering pile
"We'll fix your system," he chortled with glee, just look at these titles and read them with me

"Who are you" they screamed "What are you doing here, and what's with the books and those tiny reindeer?"
"My name is Dan, why it's Dan Holohan. I've come to your basement to tell of a plan."
"We'll tear out your furnace, all covered in soot, and install a boiler there, with comfort head to foot."
He gave them a card and said with aplomb, "Come visit my website, Heatinghelp.com"
"There you can learn about home heating design and a clever contractor, there you might find."
With a wink of his eye and a nod of his nose, to their amazement up the flue he arose.
But they heard him exclaim as he went on his way, Keep your eye on the Wall and read Pumping Away!!

Great Job Gary !
I'm impressed. Must be some kind of thing in the air because Scott pulled a great "crew poem" out of his nether regions for the company Christmas party on Saturday evening.
Maybe, if we ask nicely he would share it with us. Maybe not...lots of inside info. and we wouldn't want to "throw anyone under the bus" this time of the year. Chris0 -
Scott,,

Would a boiler fit under the tree?
Merry Christmas,
And Santa would know best about home heating, he lives at the North Pole, no place for cold feet.
The Wall is a wonderful world.

here is mine for my christmas cards
Twas the night before Christmas,
The children lay in their beds,
As dreams of toys and presents, danced in their heads.
The children awoke, to a noise in their house,
It wasn't their boiler, it's quiet as a mouse.
They grew more excited, and tried to stay calm,
Then noticed the floor beneath them was warm.
Santa had come and installed Radiant Heat,
That warmed the whole house, through the floors at their feet.
Santa had milk and pie, and left only crust,
Then mother awoke and exclaimed "look there is no dust".
This heat is so nice, not dusty or drafty,
That old St. Nick, must be quite crafty.
Dad then awoke, and noticed a smaller bill for gas,
He said to mother "this system is top quality, it definitely will last.
The home was now toasty warm in every nook and cranny,
It was now warm enough, for dear ole Granny.
Santa then exclaimed as he flew out of sight,
Radiant Heat for all,
and to all a good night.
Merry Christmas to all. May God bless all of you, and your familys. Bob Gagnon
