Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

A Christmas Poem

The time is Christmas eve,

and all around the town

Christmas Eve

children are impatient

for it to be sun down

cuz that's when Santa starts

his journey round the world

bringing lots of presents

to every boy and girl

that's when the magic happens

at the start of his flight

for there must be magic

to stop in one night

at every single home

when a child waits there.

adults might always question

how can one sled bare

all the presents needed.

I will tell you, if I must

there is special magic

in Santa's elfin dust.

Every child knows this

adults tend to forget

Santa's just for children

our minds refuse to let

us believe in magic

how can it be so

adults might not remember

but we all use to know

he doesn't come down chimneys

that would take too long

instead he passes over head

dropping presents where they belong

and the toys all come alive

on this special night

with santa's magic elfin dust

that guides his worldly flight

they know exactly where to go

and float down on elfin wings

to a child patiently waiting

to see what Santa brings

and it must be magic

for there to be such joy

on all the little faces

of every girl and boy

when they awaken Christmas morning

and rush over to the tree

to finally get the presents

they waited for anxiously

I know magic can happen

just believe it is true

so I send this special thought

to every one of you

remember the magic of Christmas

no matter what you do

then the joy of the season

will stay the whole year through.

Happy Holidays
