See my sled Hear my bells Feel my gifts Gifts of love …NOW WRAP ‘EM!

He had gifts For the whole world’s children For all that were nice Had a whole world’s map In the night Building gifts With the North Pole Elf colony And if the subject matter came up Everyone would notice He had what they call a “festive complexion” He would fly Through the night He would say “I like nice better”

I was born in this town Silent O Holy Night Probably only celebrate in this town Never anything to do in this town Never anything to do in this town Probably only dine in this town Nothing to do, sit around at home Sit around at home, stare at the walls Stare at each other and wait till we dine Probably only celebrate in this town Silent O Holy Night There's a Christmas tree around, something to do Christmast tree around, let’s have a nice fire Let’s have a nice fire, around the Christmas tree.

Santa-Santa 02:35
Santa-Santa, Ho Ho Ho. Santa’s at the North Pole Santa’s on the ball Santa’s in the workshop Making toys for all Santa’s in his sleigh now Reindeer, nine in all Santa’s starting his journey To drop off toys for all Santa’s on your rooftop Santa’s in your chimney Santa’s takes a cookie In exchange for gifts for all

about

"Gifts of Love" - What better way to show someone you care about them than a nice gift. Nothing flashy, of course, but something that lets you know you love giving gifts more than receiving them.

"Festive Complexion" - Some folks would go their whole life telling you they don't care about the holidays, whereas others you can just tell by looking at them. This is about a guy who's in the latter category.

"Christmas Tree" - Visiting family in the suburbs is a nice treat, but can get dull pretty fast. Eat, sit around, wait to eat again, maybe have a nice fire?

"Santa-Santa" - The only man we allow to enter our house year after year, for a very wholesome exchange of gifts and sweets.
