Notes About The Poem

Christmas Eve At Santa's Workshop

The North Pole looks so pretty like a winter fairy land
It is Christmas Eve and everyone must lend a hand

Frosty the snowman is busy having such fun
He's teasing the elves and making them run

He says ….

‘Go get some trimming and wrap all those gifts …
don’t overload the sled or it’ll get stuck in snow drifts’

The elves work so hard as Christmas is on its way
They need all the toys ready for that very special day

Sled bells get attached, oh how those jingle bells ring
The elves are getting so exited they begin to sing….

“When Santa got stuck in a snow drift he began to shout...
He’d better take a spade with him to dig the presents out”

Santa Claus stood there laughing in his coat of ruby red 
He asks the elves to get ready to help him load his sled

Huge sacks of presents are piled high on the bright red sled
The reindeer's had been resting; Santa roused them from their bed

With a hearty ho ho ho Santa and the reindeer's take to the sky
He hopes all the children are tucked in bed  - they shouldn’t see him fly!

On Christmas Day the children wake, their faces are aglow
They see the pile of presents and the sled tracks in the snow

Contest Ho Ho Ho 

Required words....

Elves, Frosty the snowman, Christmas, jingle bells, toys, sled, sled bells, Santa Claus, trimming, Winter fairy land
