To keep track of fireplaces
He
has visited on his slog
Around
the globe Santa
Claus
has to keep a Log
In the frozen north
The
snowmen
Call
their offspring
Their
Chill-dren
Do you know why the Christmas alphabet
Is
one letter short? Then I will happily tell
There
are only twenty-five letters in it
Because
the Christmas alphabet has Noel
In the morning Santa stood
At the
window to peer
And said to
Mrs. Claus
“It looks
like rein dear”
Advent Calendars are going out of fashion
As
their popularity is so encumbered
But
in truth they’re going out of fashion
Because
frankly their days are numbered
A broken drum is the best
Christmas
gift you can get
That
might surprise you
But
you really can’t beat it
When gingerbread men lay
On
their beds, Perchance to sleep
They
do so every single night
Laying
down on a cookie sheet
Dasher, Dancer and Prancer
Are
coffee loving schmucks
That’s
why Santa calls them
His
three great Star Bucks
On a Christmas Tree
Amidst
all the Glints
The
trees favourite
Candy
is Orna Mints
Why do Mummies
Think
Christmas is so apt
I
think they love it
Because
they get unwrapped
Santas good at Karate
At
least I’ve always felt
I
guess I thought that
Because
he has a black belt
A Snow monster has a six pack
After
his core fitness plan
And
the muscular monster is
The abdominable snowman
At the North Pole they don’t permit
Elf’s
to play a single gambling game
But
one Elf played the lottery and won
I
won’t say more but Welfy is his name
