Christmas is a magical time of year,
happy faces break into smiles of joy
reveling in celebration and cheer.
In the malls, kids ask Santa for a toy,
swearing, they've been exceptionally good;
though parents suspect they can do better.
Mindful to check his list twice, as he should,
and donning an...

NO SANTA CLAUS?

Brother Billy told him,
“Aint no Santa Claus”
Timmy didn’t want to believe his sibling
Just the very name of Santa was magic –
Santa Claus
Those fur-lined endings
Anta
Aus
The colorful red suit
Splendid black boots
Wide leather belt
And that snowball on top of his hat
“Delivers presents to the world?” scoffed...

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Or Hannukah, Quanza—It’s really your choice!
Live, love, laugh—be happy
I’ll be home for Christmastime to rejoice!
Deck the halls—Let’s be of good cheer
And all together we will wish
You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Santa endures the deft tongue

Spoofing the jolly red one

All alive, poor soul lives like dead.

Candy canes with red swirls.
Hollies strung across the fireplace.
Ring-a-ling, go jingle bells from carolers.
Ice skating with your friends.
Saint Nick gives you presents to open on Christmas Day.
Tinsel wrapped around the tree.
Mothers making sweet treats.
A cookie for Santa, and carrots for his reindeer.
Santa climbing up and...
