December 1st | Mrs. Claus’ Magic Snow Globe

by Cynthia Kirkeby

Mrs. Claus has a gift she brings out each year,
A snow globe so lovely, it brings Santa cheer.
Inside is their house, with the chimney aglow,
And a tiny Mrs. Claus is waving “Hello!”
“Take this,” she insists, “for your long, frosty flight.
You’ll need a reminder of home every night.”

So, when Santa feels tired or the sky turns to gray,
He pulls out the globe for a quick little play.
With a shake, snow swirls like a magical storm,
And there’s Mrs. Claus, looking cozy and warm.
“Don’t nap in the sleigh!” her tiny voice scolds,
“And don’t forget gloves! It’s December—it’s cold!”

The reindeer all chuckle as Santa grins wide,
For nothing beats love on a Christmas Eve ride.
He tucks the globe back, with its warm glowing light,
Still warming the sleigh on his busiest night.
Her love is a beacon as he finally heads home.
And he soars through the skies, with a hearty
“Ho! Ho!”.
