Santa At the Shopping Mall

Santa is at the shopping mall
The children are all lined up
To have a visit with Santa Clause
Taking turns to sit on his knee
Telling him of Christmas gifts
To be put underneath the tree

After their visit with Santa
A photo is taken together 
To bring home with them
As a reminder spent together
The kids are pleased they saw Santa
Giving their Christmas list to him

So now they are all happy
They shout outwith glee
Anxious for Christmas to come
With the gifts that Santa brings
To all the boys and girls
All over the world
