"Santa Claus! Santa Claus! Since you are so fat, How do you slide down chimneys? Please answer me that!" "Well, it ain't easy laddie since I am quite obese! But I wriggles and squirms and apply lots of elbow grease!" "Santa Claus! Santa Claus! How do the reindeer fly?" "They wiggles their ears and swishes their tails to soar thro' the sky!" "Santa Claus! Santa Claus! How do you know if I've been good or bad?" "Ho! Ho! I know alright 'cause I check with your Mom and Dad!" "Santa Claus! Santa Claus! Why does Rudolph have a shiny red nose?" "It is his secret alone and that even to me he will not disclose!" "Santa Claus! Santa Claus! Is your favorite snack cookies and milk?" "If I had my druthers, I prefer salami and cheese, things of that ilk!" "Santa Claus! Santa Claus! How fast is your sleigh?" "Fast enough to circle the whole earth on each Christmas Day!" "Santa Claus! Santa Claus! Will you please come again next year?" "Yes, my boy, and for years and years to come, never you fear!" Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired Christmas Day 2017
