It’s Christmas Eve and at the strike of midnight
I peek round my curtains and see silver moonlight
Our small garden is dressed in pure wintery white
I hear the tinkle of sleigh bells, much to my delight!
I peer out the window and there in the crisp snow
Is a sleigh with reindeer and Santa saying, "Ho! Ho! Ho!"
Daddy’s snoring so loudly he won’t wake at all
So I creep down the staircase and into the hall
I sneak into the kitchen to get a cool drink
And to my surprise, Santa stands by the sink
He’s getting water for the reindeer that pull his sled
He turns with a smile and says, "You should be in bed."
I find a bucket for Santa and he fills it to the top
Carries it to the reindeer without spilling a drop
He comes back and sprinkles moon dust in my eyes
As he promises to leave me a special surprise
I return to my bedroom and fall fast asleep
Snowflakes are falling, creating drifts so deep
When the sun wakes me, it'll be time for me to rise
Fling open the curtains so I see Santa's surprise
Written in snow, his note said. ‘Thank you, my dear’
Love from Santa Claus and eight grateful reindeer
