GS! Good to see you're still around.
Tradition eh? Let's see what I can dig up.
Found this, but probably better for birthdays...

You know you might be on to something here...
Music could add a whole new category for TR.
Name your favourite TR song...
"Theme from Tomb Raider" -- (Set to the "Theme from Rawhide")
Rollin' rollin rollin'...
Dodge them boulders rollin'...
Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' TR!
Through wind and rain and weather,
She's hell bent for leather.
Packin' those pistols by her side!
Plot depth's never meager...
The butler's always eager...
Escaping-- from freezer locked inside!
Move'em up head'em out
Shoot'em up knock'em out
Pack it up sneak it out Lara!
Pack it out!
Shoot'em up!
It's the game TR!

Couldn't find any Christmas tunes tho.
(Lara spent Christmas replaying part of TRA Peru level.)
<Sing to the tune of "Jingle Bells">
Dashing through the tombs,
with some nasties up ahead.
Oh what fun we'll have
Shooting 'til they're dead!
Shotgun has been found
Making Lara's day.
Shells she has on hand
Shoot then dodge away!
Oh! Shotgun shells! Shotgun shells! Shotgun all the way!
Oh what fun it is shoot,
Raptors as you play-- hey!
Shotgun shells! Shotgun shells! Shotgun all the away!
TRA is still real fun as Lara saves the day!

OK back to playing BioShock again.

Or... I could really annoy people by singing Frosty the Snowman... (I'm
gaining new respect for Weird Al Yankovik.)

Lara the Raider,
Was a buxom leggy gal!
With her pistols out as she jumped about
Took the bad guys out with style!
Yes Lara the Raider
Was a hearty feisty soul!
Dodging boulder traps and the floors that snapped
Had to jump or do a roll!
Oh Lara the raider,
with her trademark pony tail!
She could skip and jump
Had a real nice rump and her trademark pony tail.
But then one day in Egypt,
Well... the writers did her in...
But as fans we knew that couldn't be true
And she came to life again!
Oh Angel of Darkness!
What a crazy game that was!
At the discotheque she could raise some heck,
But the game somehow had changed.
Now Lara the Raider!
Has been ported out they say.
But she's still around and can still be found
Use yer mouse to help you play!

"bbocquin" assumes no part in writing any of that & is actually a guy named
"Nakimbe" sitting in a cyber cafe in Nigeria. "Hi my name is 'Wendy'. I'm
in love with you hotcakes, but I am very sick here in Australia. When are
you going to send me the money?"
