The sky's gray as clouds slide in,
Santa's helpers work to reach the end.
Dolls dancing and shaking their heads,
sleds need another coat of bright red.
Balls bounce as they're tossed into bins,
colorful tops spin around again and again.
Rocking horses set in the back ground,
their smiles appear more like a frown.
Ms. Santa hums and sings a cheerful song,
makes sure everything's on time...there's nothing wrong.
Santa sits in a corner, wearing suspenders of black,
painting wagons, ending them in a final shellac.
Elves skip and dance to the Christmas tunes,
putting finishing touches on playhouse rooms.
Barbie and Ken stand in a staring stance,
birds tweet and screech at every glance.
Toy soldiers salute and prance back and forth,
Ms. Santa yells, "Take them out to the back porch!"
An elf grins and places them in a toy box,
yelling, "Hey, this one doesn't have on any socks."
Santa yells, "We need a miracle to get this job done,
or children cannot play games and have their fun.
Hurry up my helpers...time is running out,
we've never been late, causing children to pout."
Mrs. Santa utters, "Cheer up helpers and Santa too,
snow is upcoming...we'll soon get the job through."
An elf mocks Ms. Santa and dances around,
shaking his booty...jumping up and down.
Santa yells, "It's time to get the reindeers all geared up,
they got to look nice in case children peek out at us.
Let's get this sleigh packed and loaded to the brim,
there's not a house we can omit...not one my friends."
Ms. Santa yells, "It's all ready...come lets have fun,
come drink hot chocolate and eat cinnamon buns.
It's time to enjoy ourselves...lets mingle and play,
when Santa returns, you'll get your well earned pay."
"Keep a song in your hearts and give thanks for this year,
let's send Santa off with lots of love and warm cheer.
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year...
it's Jesus` birthday we're celebrating...let's all have good cheer."
I love it Barbara, Christmas is my favorite celebration of the year and it saddens my heart that so many don't really take notice of what we are celebrating. Thank you for sharing a fantastic one.

It is something how things come together when there is a dead line,, So many kids to give a smile,,,the elves never fail.
cute and fun,,,, :) Christine
Oh I love the hustle and bustle of this time of year . I also feel comfort in knowing Elvis is doing something that gives his heart joy. He was a giver.
The liveliness and hecticness is felt in every word. Whew! Now it's time to deliver the toys for all good little girls and boys. Sounds like me on Christmas eve, trying to finish the wrapping and then heading out the door to spend time with family.
This seasonal write is touching and fills the heart and mind with delightful imagery, and the warm feelings that the season should bring to those who celebrate in spirit and Truth.
Blessings and love ...

Each person is but a grain of sand resting beside the sea. This thought sets the tone for Jill Eisnaugle’s latest poetry collection, Beside Still Waters.
