Santa's Elves

Santa’s Elves

At twelve the "ELVES” helped SANTA CLAUS.
They packed wrapped TOYS in their new SLED.
Thick snow draped WINTER FAIRY LAND.
The view from Heaven was quite grand.
New snowmen popped up everywhere.
But only Frosty came to life.
Loud laughter filled home’s warmth inside.
FROSTY THE SNOW MAN danced outside.
Young children caroled JINGLE BELLS. 
Elves and parents TRIMMING the tree,
Heard SLEIGH BELLS ringing in the dark.
The stars shown bright that CHRISTMAS Eve.
Big brothers watched for young one’s sleep.
They rode their sled onto the porch.
Oh, what fun two elf brothers had?
They wrapped more gifts to bring inside.
They helped eat treats with Santa Claus.
Their growing up was not so hard.
Becoming an elf brings sweet perks!

Oh, yes. I bought plenty of black eyed peas today. Big Smiles. It was a tradition that my grandmother taught to me. I think of her every New Year even though she crossed the Vail in 2003. (I still miss her, too.) Happy New Years to you and your family, too. Hugs back attcha! Dane Ann

Thank you... and always fun to read and write. I really enjoyed this contest. I have more winners to read this afternoon. I only made it a little less than half way through the list, every minute smiling and remembering. It was a fun contest.
