Good morning, and happy holidays! With Christmas approaching fast, let’s enjoy a few holiday tunes. But why sing the same old songs the same old way when we can put a Broncos spin on them?
Here are three good old Christmas favorites with a football twist. First up:
Deck the Halls (with Lombardis)
Deck the halls with three Lombardis, Fa la la la la la la la!
'Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la!
Don we now our game apparel, Fa la la la la la la la!
Troll the fans of every rival, Fa la la la la la la la!See the great Aqib before us, Fa la la la la la la la!
Jump the route and score a pick six, Fa la la la la la la la!Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la la la la!
While I tell of Broncos treasure, Fa la la la la la la la!Fast away the bad year passes, Fa la la la la la la la!
Hail the draft, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la la la la!
Sing we joyous all together! Fa la la la la la la la!
Heedless of the win loss ledger, Fa la la la la la la la!
Next, an ode to the face of the franchise, Von Miller, and his legendary SB 50 MVP performance:
Vonster the Sackman
Vonster the Sackman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a Geek Squad plug and some spiffy clothes
And two eyes on the Super BowlVonster the Sackman
Is a fairy tale they say
He is far from slow
And the fans all know
How he stripped the ball one dayThere must have been some magic
In that old helmet they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to rush aroundVonster the Sackman
Killed every drive he’d see
And the children say
He could laugh and play
Just to shame that shrewd QBSackety, Sack, Sack
Sackety, Sack, Sack
Look at Vonster spinSackety, Sack, Sack
Sackety, Sack, Sack
He’s our hope to win!Vonster the Sackman
Knew the time was right that day
So he said, "Let's run
And we'll have some fun
Now before Cam gets away"Down to the end zone
With a game ball in his hand
Running here and there
All around with flair
Saying, "Catch me if you can"He led them down
To Frisco town
Right to the goal line stop
And he didn’t pause a moment
When he gave Cam’s ball a chop!Vonster the Sackman
Won’t always be this way
But he’ll cheer Mile High
Saying, "Don't you cry
I'll be in the Hall some day"Sackety, Sack, Sack
Sackety, Sack, Sack
Look at Vonster spinSackety, Sack, Sack
Sackety, Sack, Sack
He’s our hope to win!
But, wait! There’s more!
Mile High Report’s own Laurie Lattimore-Volkmann put the lyrics to this one to music (and a sick video compilation) for all to enjoy.
So, ummm, @VonMiller ... @MileHighReport's @taylorkothe_nfl created a new @Broncos #Christmas song - "Vonster the Sackman."

And finally, some good old trash-talking. Tom Brady and his comrades got the better of the Broncos this season, but things haven’t always turned out so rosy for the New England QB.
Brady Got Run Over by a Bronco
Brady got run over by a Bronco
Walking home from Gillette on Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Miller
But as for me and Hoodie, we believeHe'd been watchin' too much hyped news
And we'd begged him not to go
But he wanted his new Ugg boots
So he stumbled out the door into the snowWhen they found him Christmas mornin'
At the scene of the attack
There were hoof prints on his forehead
And incriminatin' cleet marks on his backBrady got run over by a Bronco
Walkin' home from Gillette on Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Miller
But as for me and Hoodie, we believeNow we’re all so proud of Hoodie
He's been takin' this so well
See him in there watchin' game tape
Drinkin' beer and playin' cards with cousin Gronk.There’s no hope now without Brady
All the team is dressed in black
And we just can't help but wonder
Should we open up his Uggs or send them back?Brady got run over by a Bronco
Walkin' home from Gillette on Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Miller
But as for me and Hoodie, we believeNow the Bills are on the table
And the pudding made of Phins
And a blue and silver candle
That would just have matched the hair in Brady's wigI've warned all my friends and teammates
Better watch out for yourselves
They should never give a defense
To a man who drills and slays and plays like hellBrady got run over by a Bronco
Walkin' home from Gillette on Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Miller
But as for me and Hoodie, we believe!
I hope you enjoyed these Broncos Christmas creations. If you’ve got any of your own, feel free to share them in the comments!
