Christmas Hallmark Cards – Highlander Style!
By Leah Rosenthal

Merry Christmas to Mac from Methos:

I’ve braved the confusion and crowds of the mall
I haven’t a clue what to get Mac, at all
Buying him presents is something I dread
A brand new katana? That Kenny kid’s head?

I can’t give him hair ties, he’s cut off his hair
He has all the classical music (that square)
A tickle-me-Elmo is simply passé
Try-out gal Immies are his choice, nowadays

So what do I give Mac the Boy Scout this year?
He doesn’t share my love for six-packs of beer
Well, he does like antiques for his home and his shelf
And the most ancient antique I know is myself

So I’ll visit him Christmas Day and tell him stories
Of long ago battles and epics and glories
And great men and women I’ve met and I’ve known
And neither of us need spend Christmas alone.

A card to Fake Methos from the Real Thing:

You show up out of nowhere
Spouting love and peace like Ghandi
Tell everyone that you are me??
Just keep that old sword handy

I’m flattered that you use my name
And laugh, to say the least—
The two of us are phonies, ‘cause
We both used to be a Beast…

Christmas card from Cassandra to Methos

You want to make up for the past
This chilly Xmas season
I guess you’re hard up for a date
Or some self-serving reason.

You sent me pretty Xmas cards
With words from some old poet
I think Lord Byron was his name…
I’m druid and you know it
