Christmas Eve

Santa’s sleighing high,
Among the starlit sky,
Mounds and mounds of toys,
For all the girls and boys.
Rudolph leads the trip,
Knows every curve and dip,
Rudolph knows his way so well,
Santa can relax, how swell!
Ho, ho ho he shouts,
Have never any doubts,
For every child, the elves
Have packed, lovely lovely toys,
For all the girls and boys.
No child will wake up sad,
For none have been so bad,
Promised they've been good,
Mom and dad agreed,
So all the children will be glad.
Rudolph dives down fast,
This night has magic sprinkles,
Forever this will last.
Down every chimney Santa goes
One of his tricky feats,
Looks forward to his treats,
And brandy in case he’s cold,
Homemade biscuits and tea,
His face shines up with glee,
He’s thankful to each family,
Ho ho he shouts out happily.
He’s tired but content,
Nearly woke up Benny Trent.
All the toys have been delivered,
Must get home before the blizzard.
Rudolph, North Pole please,
I’m cold, i have a wheeze,
Mrs Claus is baking,
Santa’s toddy in the making,
She made a stew so yummy,
Santa rubs his tubby tummy.
Thank you, Santa Clause,
You deserve only applause.
For eons around this globe
You’ve been, 
Yet never ever seen,	
Delivering so many toys,
To all the girls and boys.


elivering so many toys,Tr all the girls and boys.

Sounds like Santa needed that Toddy! It'll fix him up good for his Spring vacation. Rather enjoyable.

Hi SO, what a lovely surprise and what a magic poem. I think you are a romantic, who also likes his solitude, quite understandable. Your write is so eloquently worded and contains such deep thoughts - superb poem. I hope you are keeping well, me, well I was nearly on my way to heaven, but that is, if I deserve that destination. Hugs and blessings.

A wonderful poem for Christmas Jennifer, congratulations on poem of the day. I’ve just read your comments my Christmas poem and yes it’s strange that we’ve both written a poem with similar content and that we have done so twice before, there has to be a connection between us someway, somehow. Enjoy the honour you’ve received today. Blessings, Belle

Good work honoring Santa. Interesting way to go. My father said his mother made hot toddy to serve her guests. Some form of alcohol with some sugar added is what I am thinking. Thanks for sharing and for the visits to my page. Sara

"...never even seen...". True indeed, yet belief is universal. A wonderful tradition. And POTD to boot! =;o]]
