Alias Santa Claus

Been mistaken for Santa Claus More than one time over the years Could be my big fat rolly belly Or my beard from ear to ear It's kind of cool when a little kiddie Comes up to me and tells me this "Once I saw you last Christmas Day And you gave my mommie a kiss!" Kids always say such funny things Some of them can make you blush A little guy told me I was really fat Must eat a big bunch of mush Wouldn't think of shaving my beard Or losing a big bunch of pounds Cause then I'd miss these little kiddies And their amazing ability to astound Before I end this long dissertation There's one thing I really must extol Don't ever lose the tiny person That's living within your soul ©Jack Ellison 2012

"Don't ever lose the tiny person That's living within your soul" You are proof of this sentiment. You have a young soul, Jack, full of joy and happy cheer. Always, Laura

I love those last two lines the best. I figure... go with it and have fun. My Dad has a white beard like yours and looks like Santa too. But he doen't go with it and have fun...Though he's normally an up beat fun loving sort of guy. I wish he'd go with it, too. Then I could tease him more.
