Santa: The Backbone of Christmas

by Arika Bhatia aged 10

Drum roll! Please guess which holiday is today?
It’s Christmas! I can already imagine you raising your hand!
After all, Christmas is in the heart of every child.

Think about it,
Would you not be happy if every 25th of December——
You get a glittering golden present!
Christmas makes every child smile and I wonder why?

I don’t know why,
Maybe its because a man
With a jolly belly spoiling you with piles of gifts

Christmas is nothing without the reindeers,
Respect to them! They carry the slay through out the night,
But on reflecting back, there would be no flying reindeers without Santa
Let’s give a round of applause to him, if he can handle a team of reindeers and make millions of children smile!
He deserves a cookie or two…

Whenever you sit near the fire place on Christmas Eve,
I want you to remember the man,
With his jolly belly who is going to spoil you tomorrow
