Secret Santa

Crisp air snuggling into my scarf shuffling through the snow off to get the mail i go As i flip through the Christmas cards I notice there is one from Santa. Oh how excited the boys will be to see that Santa has sent a letter to me. I tell the boys "see Santa's been watching." Asking "do you think you've been naughty or nice?" Oh how they want to see but i say "this letter is addressed to me." All day my little drummer boys played Listening like angels; no fighting Ate their vegies, brushed their teeth Hoping just to get one peek. Tucked in and ready for sleep "Please mom just one peek" they squeeked As I kissed them on cheek "Maybe tomorrow now go to sleep." As i lay in bed, ready to call it a day I open the letter from my Secret Santa an read Tears streaming down my face Help from another that i do not know 3 gift cards fell into my hands They have thought of everything toys for boys, food for mouths and clothes for all of us. Our Secret Santa has blessed all us. Asking for nothing, just lending a hand Always give when you can
