WHO IS SANTA After all these years , who would have thought,      I've come every Christmas and now I've been caught.      I always thought that I look so cute,      When once a year I put on this suit. I have a lot to do, but I'll rest a while,      If you'll open my bag, put the gifts in a pile.      All over the world I have those - that help me,      the lame that now walk and the blind that now see. This season is great and I love it so dear      everyone is so full of love and good cheer      Celebrating the birth of Jesus is wonderful too.      but please keep in mind - he was always a Jew. I'll tell you a story, just between you an me.      But you'll have to be quiet about what you see.      Hanukkah and Christmas, at times,      fall on the same day.      When that happens, with whom should I stay ? A long time ago I was cold, I was damp.      But I made seven trips to fill up that lamp.     You see, miracles happen wherever there's love      and faith all around us that comes like a dove. Tonight I come as Santa to fill every sock,      but when I came to Moses, I came as a rock.      Star of David, Menorah, Crucifix, tree,      should not separate , but unite you and he. It matters not what symbols are adorning your wall      this God of each one is the God of them all.      So please celebrate, let me fill all of your wishes,      And laden the tables your favorite dishes. I love all my children although quite diverse      this is why I tell you this story in verse      Your the first adult to see me - on a Christmas Eve.      But, children always see me because they believe. Just do me a favor and love one another believe Jesus's words "everyone is your brother" Now I say good night with one more little rhyme Merry Christmas to all, and to all L'chayim.
