Tonight’s end draws near, eyes looking for Santa’s reindeer.
Do you like others, most I know are many mothers, enjoy this time of year?
Such a night of wonder. I question if there will be time,
Finishing shopping, all your wrapping and reading this rhyme?

But now I think, can Santa’s elves skate on a rink; plus, what about the toys?
What a feat, Santa’s elves complete, making them for the little girls and boys.
Well, I’m here to tell you now, keep the faith and don’t have a cow.
I think I hear the tinkle of the jingle-bells, ringing on Santa’s lead sow.

Just know this Christmas, appreciate you, through the year, I sincerely do.
So, please, I hope you take these words to heart, given our distance apart.
I wish the best for you all, this Christmas eve, maybe even a light snowfall.
Hoping come Christmas day, you wake to your family, wishing love to you all.
