Real Santa*



I believe In Santa Clause-
Cuz that's how I was raised,
More than just a time of year
a holiday-gift giving craze,
I believe In Christmas joy
with presents, trees and lights,
Family, friends and mistle-toe
& Children's smile so bright,
I believe In all the stories-
that're told through out the year,
Rudolf with his nose so bright
& frosty full of cheer,
I believe that every child-
that all year long has wished,
gets everything they're asking for-
and not one of them gets missed,
I believe that secret Santa
makes strangers wishes come true,
That's why I  believe In Santa Clause-
Cuz he believes In You.

About this poem

As a child I believed in Christmas because my parents gave me the joy of gift-giving and family gathering and I to share that love of Christmas with my children and grand children.

    I liked it. While I was reading I was thinking about Christmas movies that I would watch from childhood to now, thanks. Merry Christmas in March.
