Santa Claus Gets a Break

So many years of traveling back and forth to the North Pole, where the weather's blustery and the winds are extremely cold, Santa always prevails as the Postal Sevice does, Tackling hail, storms and blizzards, His love for gift giving never wanes, persevering through torrential rains, But as time goes by, Santa's getting older, The ride with the reindeers is like twirling around in a roller coaster, So, the elves decided to give him a break, delivering the presents during horrendous earthquakes, The ground rattled and shifted while the little elves presented the goods, passing the heavy items around with pieces of wood, "Many elves make light work, " they chanted while on their way, "Santa's saving his strength," in order to travel for several more holidays, One Christmas of rest out of hundreds was the world's present to him, Saved from his rigorous schedule and idle banter, He was free to preserve his vigor and vim, with all his free time he may learn to croon or perhaps become a Cantor, All will be merry, all will be bright, when the little elves arrive on Christmas Eve Night!

Very cute, Margaret! You had me laughing. I think Santa has an edge over the Postal System (and he delivers for cookies and milk -- his rates never increase). LOL Love, Carolyn
