Saint Nick

There once was the cheeriest fellow
Who ran a gargantuan toy workshop

Gone by the name of Saint Nick
Throughout the calendar year
He would cram day and night
To keep up with the countdown

When the time finally came
He’d get overly zealous
Rounding up his team of reindeer
To perform the impossible feat

So around the world they would go
Delivering the mountains of toys
To every boy and girl who’d been good
And not naughty every day of the year

No matter how often we’d stay up Christmas Eve
Santa managed to drop by in the time of a wink
Woof down a couple of cookies with a sip of milk
How sad that we managed to miss him each trip

I enjoyed this....reminds me when our uncle asked us if we could hear the sleigh bells. We were afraid to say no.

Santa is probably the most talented individual in existence when it comes to speed. Wonderfully cheery.

Before the kids went to bed we'd leave a couple of cookies and a small glass of whiskey, my wife always had the cookies lol. Tom.

And Santa had the whiskey! Very clever, Tom. I bet Santa never missed your house from year to year.

Kids are so innocent and believing. I remember checking to see if the cookies and milk were actually gone. They always were. My older brother enjoyed! Very cute poem Line! : )
