No Frills Santa

This year Santa has decided to be thrifty,
after forecasts regarding the economy,
He's shopping at sales and going to Flea
Markets,
Trying to get the kids quality presents at a 
bargain,
He has even resorted to creativity,
making all the decorations for the North Pole's
Christmas Tree,
The reindeers have stayed afloat,
because they all invested in oats,
So far, he's saved tons of pennies!
Maybe he'll buy lots of dollies,
The elves are feeling the crunch,
therefore they all decided to brown bag 
their lunches,
All their good times at Chez Misletoe,
will be rejuvenated once more,
for their Christmas Gala, "Rock Around
the Willow",
What wonderful treats Santa will leave on
everyones' pillows!
