Write a Christmas Jingle.....please!

I am trying to win the "world's largest stocking" at work. It has to be for needy kid(s). I know just the little rug-rats who never have much in the way of toys, and get very damn little for Christmas. They don't go hungry, but apparently the folks "hobbies" come first.....if ya know what I mean.
SO....I can fill out the entry form just fine, problem is we have to also jot down some kind of a litle "company Christmas jingle" on the entry form. I am SO BLANK.

Anyone ??? Please ??? Won't you do it for the kids????

No specified length or anything - just a "company jingle". that includes the one-word name of the company. All I can say it that it is a 5 letter word, one syllable, and rhymes quite well with "BIKES".
Any and all help will be so very greatly appreciated by me, the less talented here !! Guess I'm talent-challenged!

If you need any general info about the organization requesting the jingle, this is the best I can give:
1. The company provide tech support for various clients
2. 1st Goal is excellent customer satisfaction
3. Very team-work oriented, everyone supports each other like family
4. Meeting high quality goals rewards us techs with extra $$ and extra time off. Don't know if that helps, but I need a jingle! Where are those cellar poets??
THANKS!!!!!!

When your email is in a big jam
'Cause you're getting a whole lot of spam
Don't go take a hike
You can just call up {Mike}
We'll fix you up quickly, yes Ma'am!


Very, very lame. If this wins, the judging committee needs to be tested for hallucinogens.

Christmas sucks, Christmas blows,
You're all a bunch of Christmas schmoes.

Silent night, Holy night,
I dread each return of this calender blight.

I wasn't being sarcastic, btw. I'd shop at a store that featured that jingle.

THANKS!! I appreciate the input. I'll let you know if we win!
I can almost guarantee that limberpoet's jingle won't be the winner chosen by "management" but I'll submit it too! (Anonymously, of course).

Troubleshooter - sorry you hate the holidays so much. Over the years, I have hated them a lot,at times, and no matter what you do, you can't escape them, they're just everywhere! You can't just choose to not be a part of it, because its at work, every public place, every family or friends place you go, etc. for about three months....

To quote Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes), "Nothing improves a bad mood like sharing it."

And who says I want to escape them?

There are plenty of people who actually existed that we can celebrate, why make shit up?
