He Knows If You Are Sleeping

The elves made mittens

for a holiday gift

Santa's delivery would

need to be swift

Family stockings were waiting

'neath each chimney hole

for a Christmas surprise

from the cold North Pole

A carol played softly

Gingerbread on a plate

but the family too tired

to stay up and wait

tucked away in their beds

from the frost and the snow

At last Santa arrived

and under the mistletoe

he kissed the tree's angel

then sang ho, ho, ho
