Christmas Eve

The little girl looks out the window,

Is Santa late? She wonders.

It seems like everybody is asleep,

Have they forgotten Christmas eve?

But the fat little man,

With the shiny reindeers.

He cannot possibly ditch her.

She waited a year, and now that its here,

He can't possibly bewitch her.

She was a good girl, she tried so hard.

She was kind and giving,

And good of heart.

But life is more complicated that that,

And she fumes in her room.

"He forgot me!", says she,

"Bloody unfaithful Santa."

She left the cookies and the milk,

She baked a gingerbread man.

The Christmas tree is beautifully lit,

Borrowed holly wreaths from gran.

She had never tried so hard for Christmas,

She had never wanted gifts.

But she never underestimated Santa,

Never caused any rifts.

And today she needed him,

She'd been praying for days.

"All I want for Christmas this time,

And mind you its not much.

All I want for Christmas is him,

Don't let me down as such."

But life isn't so easy,

And when it was 1.

She took down the stockings,

And waited for the sun.

She never really expected a call,

She never thought Santa would come around.

But first thing in the morning,

With fresh dewdrops on the ground.

He's waiting at the door,

With a little christmas gift.

"I told Santa all I wanted was you"

He said, "But he never came around."

She smiled and said, "I'm glad you did,

Santa can never be found."

But she didn't believe it,

And thanked him that night.

Santa couldn't make it that time,

But Christmas magic makes it alright.
