Santa , Old Santa

It's early Christmas' Eve, snow steadily falls and Santa leaves the North Pole with his breath steaming in the frigid cold... while the reindeers wiggle their tails; he re-checks his long and neat list, remembering another child's wish! Santa, old Santa with the longest beard and waving brittle hair whitest than snow, many may think you look out-dated and weird: have you forgotten to put on your cap. and wrapped the wool scarf around your neck? Santa, old Santa, take a minute before you go! An over-loaded sleight can't make over the mountains, valleys and lakes if the the tired reindeers don't stay awake, so Santa add two more to the sleight to make sure that all kids receive a gift before midnight...to avoid them heart-breaks! Santa, old Santa flashing the biggest laughter that make your actual age disappear, much joy is needed around the globe, because everyone puts materialism before love... forgetting that's easy to erase all greed: thinking less of themselves, and doing a good deed! It's ten minutes to midnight, and Santa notices something so strange: a house without lights, and there he makes his first stop; in a corner by the dark hall he sees an empty box, and an unhappy face reading a letter written in a rush: the only letter that was returned for unfixed postage, and as Santa steps down the empty sleight... the surprised girl's eyes light up! Santa, old Santa...this Christmas is so sad and incomplete: it needs another Yule' miracle; asks her what she wishes for...in a night so shining with hope: when everything seems so possible!
