Saint Nick

Who was that Greek bishop of Myra?

Was he the gift giver of Western lore?

Did he attend the Council of Nicaea?

How did he become Father Christmas?

Where did this Santa Claus come from?

We have to go back to folklore and tradition

The idea exploded from European practices

Of gift giving and Christian celebrations 

But it's all based on the birth of a baby

In what has been called the Holy Land

How did this momentous event

End up with a white bearded guy

Dressed in an outlandish red suit

Embossed with white fur

Sitting in mall to allow children

To ask him for gifts that will be

Provided by their parents?

The logic is lost here

But it will never fade

I should know

I was one before

A hidden Santa!
