Just a Bit Different

The clouds had been thickening all day
And finally, the first few snowflakes fell
Right onto Santa's hat, which Ms. Claus had lovingly made for him

As Santa looked up at the sky, he thought
That this was going to be a lovely Christmas
Because everyone knows that the best weather for happiness is snow

So at 9:00 exactly
Santa put on his suit, pulled on his hat, grabbed his sack, and walked out the door
But before he could take another step, Ms.Claus called him back into the house

"Dear, you forgot your mask and gloves!" She said
Santa had indeed forgotten
So he took the elastic straps, tucked them behind his ears, pulled the fabric over his nose, then put on his gloves

He went to his sleigh were his elves has already fastened his reindeer
Thanked them, (making sure to stay six feet apart), then plopped his sack in the back
And set off to spread joy like last year, (but just a bit different.)
