Santa's On the Surfboard

Santa’s on his surfboard
     It’s Christmas time again
He’s comin’ round the jetty
     And just now cleared the bend

Santa’s loves his surfboard
     He’s practicing his moves
To balance all those presents
     On the list that he approves

To be a beach time Santa
     Requires lots of skill
You see, it’s not just chimneys
     That old Santa likes to fill

So leave your milk and cookies
     On the blanket in the sand
And you might see Surfing Santa
     Hanging ten all plump and tanned

I live in Southern California and that poem is so relevant to this region, like the Beach Boys', "Little Saint Nick". Do you live in CA, too? Maybe you also live on a coast.
