Santa Knows If You'Ve Been Good Or Bad

The kids hung stockings nigh the hearth with care

   In hopes that Old Saint Nick would soon be there

    But, alas to their chagrin

      Nothing was contained therein

        But coal, otherwise their stockings were bare

Sad day indeed, Sara. I hesitated to post that one on soup because I know Santa wants to make all kids happy. Great to hear from you and best wishes for a joyous Christmas! Bob

O dear oh dear, seems they had been bad, wonder if Santa and God communicate, Santa is a saint after . A harsh but realistic lesson. Clever on Robert, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
