Safety Claus

Dear Santa is in a dilemma And we're making our way through December His wish list is long And he's getting things wrong As he's finding it hard to remember. Last year, Julie got an action man Little Johnny got a Doll and pram Then little Tom Knew something was wrong When Santa never turned up as planned. So Rudolph is now taking the reins Hopefully things will certainly change Then the girls and boys Will receive the right toys Rather than the other way round.

Rudolph is delighted he’ll drive the sleigh - He’s prayed for the honour by night and day - His red nose glows bright - It’s his guiding light - And he’s mistletoe tucked safely away……. Sis Beryl

Hi sister Beryl, I can only imagine where Santa keeps his mistletoe.

Perhaps it is time for Santa to retire and hand over the reins, Rudolph who be a good choice but I think maybe Mrs. Claus could help out for a bit and apply for the post. She's a real poppet. BlESSNGS, John, Jennifer.

I blame the parents for leaving a glass of whiskey instead of milk, must admit I was guilty of doing that too. Lol. Hope your weekend is going well John. Tom

Hi Tom, if dear old Santa gets a whisky at every home, maybe it would be a good idea to let Rudolph take control lol,have a lovely evening Tom.
