We chose a street, right here in
town,
that is always fixed up nice!
We drove real slow and looked....
and some we looked at twice.
We oohed and awed....
each house we came to.
Trying to decide the prettiest one,
which was very hard to do.
When all of a sudden,
the most special one caught my
eye...
there was Santa Claus in the yard,
greeting each Passerby!!
I blinked real hard and looked
again,
to make sure he was real.
And sure 'nuff, it was him...
Santa Claus, the old man!
He appeared to look young,
but I knew he couldn't be.
Santa was around 40 years ago...
as a kid I sat on his knee!
We pulled up and stopped,
He walked up...shook my hand with a
smile.
I ask, "How ya doing Santa
Claus?"
He said, "Fine, been awful busy for
awhile!"
"Lots of children to see,
and even old folks like us 3.
Keeping me busy...
for everyone I see!"
He gave us each a candy cane,
and as we pulled away...
I laughed and said,
"That sure made my day!"
