Santa's Stayed On In Chicago

Southerly breeze at my back
   Curlicue clouds in the sky
Folks sport sunny smiles
   A privilege to be alive

It's Spring after Christmas
   A treat for body and soul
Santa's stayed on in Chicago
   Why rush back to the North Pole?

Hahaha! Even Santa needs a break! Did Mrs. Claus know he wasn't rushing back??? He may come home to a lump of coal.

Put enough elves together up there at the Pole, and you'll have ELV-is! LOL. Laughter and Joy, Gershon

No reason at all. On Christmas Day a Santa in a Jeep nearly mowed my family down in a parking garage. I said "That's a poem!"

Yes. I think the temp hit 64 degrees; broke the record for the day by 10 degrees. Lucky us today... Thanks, Michele!
