Nyt joulukalenteri siirtyi entistä syvempiin vesiin. Ajankohtainen sikainfluenssa johdatti tarinan kohti Eläinten valtakuntaa. Julkaisufoorumi siirtyi Facebookiin, mikä olikin sopivampaa kuin sähköpostilöhetykset pahaa-aavistamattomille sukulaislapsille. Lukekoon ken uskaltaa!

| Good morning to you, children mine, it is time to rise and shine! “Oh mom, please don’t make such a noise, I feel like I have lost my voice. My head is aching, I’m feeling blue, I think I have a case of flu.” |
2
| “I called the school, but didn’t reach her; also absent is the teacher. Listen up, here’s a kick: Almost all the kids are sick. The principal answered the phone, he is there almost alone.” |
3
| It’s on the news, it’s everywhere, people are sick here and there. The reporters are asking: “Tell us please! What’s the cause of this decease? We know the cure, but what’s the reason? What a way to start the holiday season… |
4
| Oh my, oh my, I don’t feel perky, should send the cards and get the turkey, shop for gifts and clean, but instead - I think I need to go to bed. I don’t have time to be this ill, where could I get a helping pill? |
5
| Mom doesn’t look too bright and brisk, it looks like Christmas is at risk! I think we need to get involved, and get this disease problem solved. The evening comes, it’s getting dark, “What was that, a big dog’s bark?” |
6
| In the morning there are footsteps around, that’s not a cat, a rabbit, or a hound… Nor it is an elf’s footprint, what could it be, we need a hint. “Listen to this, don’t go through the roof, I think that is a print of a hoof!” |
7
| “This is tough, that much I tell, the kids are still not too well. Normally up they stay, want to read and want to play. Now they went to bed at ease, I didn’t even have to say please.” |
8
| But when it’s quiet, the kids sneak out, they start to follow the footprint route. “Keep up and keep your eyes open wide, all kinds of creatures out here hide. Be quiet now, don’t hollow and hail, I think I saw a tip of a tail…!” |
9
| It’s not a print of an elf’s clog, This belongs to – a hog! The pigs around the houses sneak, and through the windows inside peak..? What is this Christmas piglet hike, have Santa’s elves gone on a strike? |
10
| I think we are right on their route, we’ll see what this is all about. Little piglets in a que: “Don’t push, me first, see who is who!” The children look in total awe, the strangest thing you ever saw. Get on their toes to see it better, a very bizarre get-together: a thousand pigs or even more, led by a big old, ugly bore |
11
| “Good work, my friends, I’m proud of you, you’ve spread well this nasty flu. It’s all around on streets and alleys on the hills and in the valleys. Christmas can be soon called off!” he ends his speech with cheerful puff. |
12
| “Sssh, be silent, quite in peace!” but then out comes a little sneeze. “Who is there that snoops around?” The kids step out, they are found. As they come in they can ask, the reason for this nasty task. |
13
| ”Listen children, here’s the deal, this Christmas problem’s really real. People sing of bells that jingle in the shops they stroll and mingle. As they dinner parties host, we end up as Christmas roast. |
14
| Look around, we walk on pegs, half of us have wooden legs. This year we decided: Change! A solution is not strange: Now they’re sick and soon forget, think of getting well instead. Don’t even think about the ham, don’t need steak, don’t need lamb. |
15
| We have a smart pig-professor, who can use the lab of our lessor. He has many viruses tested to see how men are best molested. Soon we’ll reach the final target: ham is off the Christmas market! |
16
| “You are right, we see your pain, but still, we’re losing Christmas in vain! If we found a different solution, made an anti-meat collution? Forced the people to change their diet, stopped your world-wide piggy-riot? |
17
| “It might work, though it feels crazy”, the science-pig sounds slightly hazy. “I’ll get to it and work real hard, maybe we can keep our lard. If we spread out a magic powder, that gives a craving for veggie chowder…? |
18
| “We need to save the Holiday, get the swine flu plague away. But also make men change their habits, leave us alone and eat like rabbits. The future pigs can keep their legs, now run along, get me some eggs!” |
19
| He works all day and slaves away, he never takes a rest, the children watch him quite impressed, don’t bother and don’t pest. A little this, a little that, this is a killer blend, that makes the veggie-biting, a new and global trend! It’s ready now, come on and see, I’ve used my bestest tricks: the anti-swine-flue-vegetarian-and-fishy-mix! |
20
| We’ve done well with forces joined, but we have missed one major point: the flu attack took almost a year, even if we moved on a top gear. There are only 4 days left, this load into the world to heft. |
21
| But then they hear a happy cry: “I’ll tell you who is just the guy! In 24 hours he circles the globe he wears a beard and long red robe. We need to ask his help, of course, the solver here is Santa Claus!” |
22
| The Bore calls Santa and tells the plan: “In a day we need the whole world span.” “No problem, I was thinking of reindeer test to see which one pulls sled the best. So as we ride I can spread you drug, and stop this nasty swine-flu bug.” |
23
| People recover, get on their feet, happily each other greet: “I don’t feel so feverish, suddenly I crave for fish: Do you share the same kind of urge? Have to get some salmon and perch…!” |
24
| The pigs got exactly what they please, a Christmas time with lots of peace. the main course now is four-foot pike. and for all of pigs and people alike: Everywhere there’s Joy to the World, The best Christmas you ever heard! |
