It is December 6th. In much of the Christian world this is the day St. Nicholas brings treats to girls and boys. Bad kids get a lump of coal. I wonder where he finds that coal these days.
Here is my Ode to St. Nick. (Sing along to the familiar tune, Jolly Old St. Nicholas)
Jolly Old St. Nicholas
Jolly Old St. Nicholas
Lean your ear this way,
Don’t you tell the Enquirer
What I’m going to say.
Christmas Eve is coming soon
Now my dear old Santa
These are all our wishes and
Some we hope you grant, ah.
Jenny wants the plasma set
Wouldn’t that be jolly?
Mikey wants a Blue Ray, yet
Mary thinks its folly.
Andy wants a brand new car
Dave to win the lotto
Mom thinks all have gone too far
It’s more than Santa’s got, Oh--
Guitar Hero tops the list
Of games the teens now play
Sleds, and books and skates
It seems really are passé.
Danny thinks the rest of us
Have desires too imperial
His request I like the best
A box of junk food cereal.
When the clock is striking twelve
And we’re tucked in safe from harm
Down the chimney you will come
Setting off the burglar alarm.
