Santa’s Grotto

Look what Santa thinks about Santa. A poem about Santa, Christmas and the world.

In Santa’s grotto,

Santa sells his photos,

with cute little kids in them,

they can’t wait for their parents

to pay for the treat,

for a one-off

lasting seconds.

Kids’ eyes are excited,

they dwell in the feeling

of holding Santas arm,

his long white beard

tickling them.

That’s great reward

for the parents.

Yet Santa is a business men,

and comes in thousand shades,

millions of people love him,

and spend what they don’t have.

He noddingly accepts the donation,

he loughs loud and says:

If you’d only knew

how easy it would be,

enjoying Christmas

with family and friends.

Together sitting and talking

and feasting and playing,

and enjoying the good time

without overeating,

without all the fuss,

just properly celebrating

the togetherness with everyone

who counts in your heart.

Hmmm, never thought of Santa as a business man before, but of course, he is. Lovely thoughts here.

A very creative little piece with an important message: “the togertheness of people that count in your heart.” Lovely.

Santa is a businessman, he’s in the business of selling toys to children. Nice poem.

Good for Christmas.

It is a shame that even Santa is so commercial these days. It would be lovely to celebrate Christmas with family and friends and without all the frivolities.

Christmas has become very commercialized, but these memories are worth it.
