Better Late Than

Last year Santa took a long time to come
The reindeer waited ages, and then some 
Rudolf got so snappy 
Mrs Claus was happy 
As his sack somehow didn't look so plump

I guess Jennas elf chimed Santas belles after all! This year, I'm giving it to someone special.

Lol, sounds about right Anaya, I was always led to believe Santa’s sack was a cornucopia, but perhaps Mrs Claus is the only one who can put a dent in it, cheers David
