The elves are very busy
building children’s toys
Watching, ever mindful
of little girls and boys.
Reading o’er the letters
that Santa sent their way.
Remembering very merrily,
that they have to fill the sleigh.
Children are expectant
of every dream they’ve had
And Santa’s very worried
and yet, so very glad…

***
I wish you a merry Christmas.
I wish you happy snowy mornings with wrapped gifts under trees.
and family together and peace if they be.
i wish you puppies and jewelry and candy-canes too
for now you can eat them, and candied apples too!
i wish you hot cider and chocolate and good things to drink,
and mittens and scarves when you skate ’bout the rink.
i wish you snowmen and angels and tinsel
and much much goodies from Ole Chris Kringle
i wish you so much fun that it lasts and it lasts.
but most of all i wish you love and a gentle embrace
from someone from whom you don’t hide from
when he touches your face.
i wish you a warm fire when all visits are through
and a cup of hot chocolate for me and for you.
