Line Up For Santa

At the shopping mall
There are bright colours everywhere
Santa's seat in view
Ready for the long line up
For sitting on Santa's lap

Used to love taking my children to see Santa. One year my dad dressed up as Santa and none of his five grandchildren noticed, although my son said "Santa had a watch like Papa."
