CHRISTMAS Santa packs bis sleigh with glee, Placing everything so carefully, Up, up and away we go, Arnîdst the flakes of falling snow, The wind is cold but laughter is ligbt, Not a soul was awake this nigbt. Kids went to bed without a peep, As they knew that Santa would sneak Around tbe bouse leaving gifts. Before into the airbhelifts, Moving frorn one house to the other, Leaving gifts for father and rnother. Christmas is done, children awake, Tbey ail behave niceiy for Santa's sake, Until next year, we must say farewell, To good, ol, jolly Santa, who treats us so well.
