It was Christmas Eve and Santa was getting ready to leave
To deliver toys to children whose heart still believed
In the magic of Christmas and in the miracle of
Yuletide cheer, peace, happiness and love
With a schedule as tight as could be
He had plenty of gifts to put under everyone's tree
So with a plan ahead of him he was ready to take flight
He had a lot he had to do for his workload was not at all light
But the pleasure of being able to provide a smile here and there
Just showed how much he handled his job with such tender, loving care
To know he could full fill the smallest of wishes filled his heart with pride
And to feel the presence of excitement every where made him that more grateful inside
For there's no other gift he would rather give then to be able to be a part
Of bringing the true meaning of Christmas to the surface of everyone's heart
So to be able to cover every single house across the land
Made his job that more rewarding and that more grand
Because when it came to children no matter how rich or how poor or how young or how old
There will be memories to be remembered and stories for a lifetime that will be told
So when Christmas times come to an end and the decorations are put away
May we remember to live each minute of our lives as if it is still Christmas Day
Because the greatest gift ever given to mankind just doesn't have to be remembered
Or felt or shared among those whom we love and those whom we don't know in the month of December
So as Santa heads back to the North Pole let us continue to spread
The same kind of joy and peace in the months and in the years ahead.
