R I P - Santa

~Do you Believe~ Here's the little twist in my parents home Spreading fairy dust since I was 3 years old The prancing and dancing before Christmas Eve Made it hard to keep an eye on my mother Who I've seen kiss Santa under the mistletoe The cookies and warm milk sit on top of a note Dear Santa, THANK YOU FOR SPREADING JOY!!! The baking, The Wrapping, The Stockings, The decorations and toys! How I treasured every magical moment Until I realized who left the presents under the tree Once the Christmas Bell Fell The fairy dust wore off leavening no magic behind That year was a year I earned the "NAUGHTY" list Even so, my parents continued with the white lie Decorating and Pretending Santa was real My bike on the list was missing that year I refused to behave and believe in you know who? The magic inside was gone and dead! I was old enough to know it was all a lie The cookies, the present, the Christmas Glee The naughty list was barely an excuse, Because Parents worked hard all year long Encouraging kids to be good in order to make the "NICE" list Christmas is nothing more than a gimmick to every market Using Christ and his birth as a reason to believe BUT, the twist is not how I stop believing The twist is a fizz, how I brought the magic back Today, my kids sit and enjoy the presents under the tree Baking and wrapping, hanging stockings by the chimney The decorations and toys are worth every penny Now, I'm the one hyper after eating a few cookies Now listen, Kids listen well - Don't act surprised! When you see mommy kissing Santa under the mistletoe LOVE LINDA
