Down On Candy Cane Lane
Several Elves Burst Into Flame
Rudolph Was Sad
But, Santa Was Mad
Knowing Spiked Eggnog Was To Blame.

Santa Put The Drink On A Shelf
Too High Up For Any Elf.
But, The Elves Formed A Plan
And Hired A Man
Who Took And Drank It Himself.

Running fast, catching friends before they go.

Building big snowman, arms reach high,

Sledding down the hill, laughter fills the sky.

II. Fine Motor Skills

Delicate fingers are nimble, love bestows.

Cutting paper snowflakes, tying colorful t...

the poor boy that had no Christmas

a young boy lived in the country

looked forward to Christmas

a special time when a tree was cut

and strings of popcorn were hung

the family had little money

at least a present or two

Christmas Eve

the young boy’s best fr...

World wide travel at the drop of a hat,
Guaranteed to keep you young at heart
And...

Rooftops

Brushing soot off his tunic (new, wipe clean, breathable material) he surveys the rooftops.

He belches, the last lot’s food offerings (whisky, milk and breakfast cereal) playing havoc with his digestive system.

Whistling for the team (trained to perfection by the reindeer whisperer) he prepares for the off.

Straightening, the man of dreams consults his watch

christmas past 1947

when I was young

christmas was special

for a boy in a small home

Santa felt sassy and seasoned

Having switched from soda to whiskey

Stirred and slurred, his vision was blurred

Sleigh-driving was stupidly risky

Sloshing around but still seated

Strapped in, seemingly quite self-assured

Whilst swerving through Nice, he saluted the police

Whose chopper was wisely insured

Donna and Blitzen were startled

Dancer and Prancer were ma...

Here's a bit of fun as we approach the Christmas month - some sympathy for all those Mums &

Dads left behind by their technically-savvy kids!  All credit to Pete Dymond and Marcie Summers

(who does a great job as "the kids" on the audio).
