Imagine...
Family gathered, laughing, talking, enjoying the Christmas spirit.
Little ones playing, dressed in their Holiday best, reds, greens, black and whites
Crisp and carefully pressed. Occasionally they sneak a peak at the cookies and candies
Laying about in decorative bowls and plates. All eyes are open, ears alert and anxious
Then the knock at your door everyone was anticipating.
Everything changes, each child's eyes grow bigger by the second
Though they are not sure, something tells them this is a special visitor.
The door is opened slowly and each little face pushes close for a peek.
There... right in the doorway HE stands! HE came to MY home!
Slowly, with a Ho Ho Ho, Storytelling Santa steps into the room
The cold of the Arctic curling around him, bringing hints
Of dreams, of peppermint, hot chocolate... and cookies
He is full of stories, of laughter, of smiles and good cheer
As each little one climbs onto his knee,
Each suddenly bashful and awkward teenager
Dutifully takes their place beside him, He listens,
Somehow knowing that they have been...
Good!
