Who makes Snow flakes
fall from the sky.
It’s just Jack Frost
as he goes by.
Reindeers canter pulling Santa’s sleigh.
Lanterns on their antlers light their way.
They’ve got silver horseshoes on their hooves
that leave reindeer tracks on snow capped rooves.
All the children cheer and they clap hands
when they listen to those sleighbells ring
‘cause they know Santa’s come from Lapland
and they love the presents that he brings
Two little snowflakes
falling to the ground.
One said to the other one,
“Do you hear that sound?
That jingle-jangle-jingle
of bells upon a sleigh?
That’s the sound that tells us
Santa’s on his way”.
Santa never knocks on a gold plated door,
he will not stop at mansions or palaces of kings
he prefers the houses of the people who are poor
for, more than most, they need the kind of joy that Christmas brings.

Lovely last stanza well-wisher - brings a little edginess to what is a good festive read. Well done.

Thankyou, Scratch.
I would really like to recapture the symbols that greed has stolen from goodness.
I often feel like a phoney when I write about Santa Clause but symbols and characters that are in the public domain are like idols of plastiscene and we can knock them down and make whatever we like out of them.

Hi John
Heart-warming sentiments, you are very good at this sort of thing and this piece should bring a smile to many faces. In fact most of you stuff has a feelgood factor about it. Well done.

Thankyou, Sue.
I've always liked sentimental things like Musicals, Disney cartoons and Charlie Chaplin movies and I think they probably rubbed off on me.
Glad you enjoyed it.
