Santa Daddy

It seems that daddy loses ground when that old Santa comes around For with his smile and apple cheeks caught by the glimpse of one who peeks Excitement roars its fluffy head as kiddies must lay down to bed With thoughts of jolly beards and boots a doll that cries, a’train that toots For wondrous are the mysteries awaiting ‘neath the Christmas trees And how can daddy then compete with ” Ho, Ho, Ho’s “.about to greet A busy man must Santa be a world of children he must see Despite his reindeer flight so swift much needed help is such a gift At least until a certain age when kiddies turn a certain page On Christmas Eve they can’t connect that daddy is the prime suspect!

Ah, how sweet, Mike. Reminded me so much of those innocent years when I believed in the Santa of "The Night Before Christmas" and the years I struggled because other kids said he didn't exist. When I asked my mom, she said, "When you no longer believe in Santa, Christmas is never the same." So, I still believe!

Lol brought back happy memories Mike, for I was the man. Shame though, my daughters all grown up now and I sure miss that glass of whiskey they used to leave the man in red. Tom

Your thoughts on any subject are always created with such interesting, and rhythmic lines, Mike. There is one hero in this story... he wears two sets of clothing. Faved it. Happy weekend.
