Santa's prayer on Christmas day
The sleigh was all packed, the reindeer were fed,
But Santa still knelt by the side of his bed.
"Dear Father," he prayed "Be with me tonight.
There's much work to do and my schedule is tight.
I must jump in the sleigh and streak through the sky,
Knowing full well that a reindeer can't fly.
I will visit each household before the first light,
I'll cover the world and all in one night.
With sleigh bells a-ringing, I'll land on each roof,
Amid the soft clatter of each little hoof.
To get in the house is the difficult part,
So I'll slide down the chimney of each child's heart.
My sack will hold toys to grant all their wishes,
The supply will be endless like the loaves and the fishes.
I will fill all the stockings and not leave a track,
I'll eat every cookie that is left for my snack.
I can do all these things Lord, only through you,
I just need your blessing then it's easy to do.
All this to honor the birth of the One,
That was sent to redeem us, your most Holy Son.
To all of my friends, lest Your glory I rob,
Please Lord, remind them, who gave me this job.
Another nice thing I wanted to share. I like it because it mixes Santa, the symbol of Christmas, with Christ, the reason for Christmas. I still like to say that I believe in Santa Claus, in a way. Do you know the book "I Believe in Santa Clause"? If you do then you know what I mean.

I haven't heard of that book, but I know that "Saint Nicholas" was a real person who served the Lord by helping impoverished children.
That's true too, but not what I meant. Maybe sometime I can show you that book
That is a nice poem Tiff. I liked it too.
Okay, I don't know what else it could be about. I guess you will have to show me, LOL.
