Time for Santa

Lots of sweets and chocolate treats.

Time for Christmas cheer.

Presents wrapped beneath the tree and

Family gather near.

Children hang their stockings up.

Excitement everywhere.

Santa’s night to ride the skies

Out in the cold night air.

Across the rooftops, through the clouds

Rudolph’s nose bright red.

Leaving gifts for boys and girls

Beside each sleepy head.

Come the dawn on Christmas Morn

Great wonderment galore.

Children’s voices fill the air

As they wonder what’s in store.

They spend the day unwrapping toys

Until at last to bed.

They have to wait another year

When Santa, once more, rides his sled.
