December 9th | You’ve Been Very Good! | A Poem From Santa

By Cynthia Kirkeby

I sat in my sleigh by the glow of the moon,
Checking my list with a chuckle or two.
Your name caught my eye—it sparkled so bright,
A star on my roster, a dazzling light.
You’ve been so kind, a friend through and through,
And that’s why I’ve got something special for you!

I’ve seen all the times you lent a kind hand,
Building a castle of kindness so grand.
From helping your neighbor to sharing your toys,
Your heart rings out louder than holiday noise.
It’s moments like these that fill up my heart,
With treasures of love that light up the dark.

The elves in my workshop have whispered your name,
They say you’re the reason the season’s aflame.
“We’ll make something perfect!” they eagerly cried,
“And fill it with magic and holiday pride.”
Now, I’ve packed it up snug with a jingle bell’s chime,
For a gift like this only comes once in a while.

As I ride through the night with Dasher and crew,
We’ll soar through the starlight heading over to you.
I’ll tiptoe inside with my boots on the floor,
And leave you a note as I sneak through the door.
“Keep shining bright, keep spreading your cheer,
Merry Christmas to you, my sweet star of the year!”
