he couldn’t sleep
even though he
had been up all night –
it was his turn for
the night shift –
instead he stood
outside peering through
windows to watch
the smiles of excited
children opening gifts
his heart glowed when
he heard squeals of
joy as boys and girls
played with the toys they
most wished for but it was
time to go home
have some cookies
warm milk and put
his feet up – so with a soft
“ho, ho, ho”, he disappeared
into to the morning mist
Oh I love the thought of a friendly Santa Claus watching the joy. After all it has to take him through the ear to next Christmas

I would think that would be Santa’s favorite part of Christmas, seeing the joy and hearing the laughter of children. So sweet!

A lovely & fun romp, rife with season’s warmth. Oddly, with so many terrible & dark things happening in the world right now, at first while reading this I feared it was going to take a dark turn, & we were reading about a Peeping Tom; silly me.

Thanks 🙂 I’m thinking of doing some revision so it doesn’t sound quite so creepy.
