A little girl waits by her bedroom window, hoping to catch a glimpse of old St. Nick.
Which direction would he be coming from?
North? South? East? Or West?
How many reindeer did he actually have?
Did Rudolph really exist with a shiny red nose?

That little girl wondered if there were enough cookies for Santa
Or if maybe he's had too many.
He could eat them on the road.
Maybe the milk should be in a to-go cup.
A little something for the road.

How did Santa carry all those gifts?
Maybe everything was so heavy.
After all, the little girl did ask for a scooter.
Will St. Nick and all the gifts fit through the chimney?
There's always the spare key in the desk for him to use.

Cookies were added.
Cups replaces.
A key now under the welcome mat.
A telescope from the closet was out for ultimate sight-seeing.
It's Christmas morning, at twelve in the morning.

A little girl scanned the skies for Santa.
Hopefully he gets here soon.
Eyes were closing.
The pillow so soft.
Soon, he would come.

A mother and father get out of their rooms.
Presents in tow.
Wrapped and sealed with shiny bows.
Bags of stocking stuffers, ready to fill the pink sock.
But nothing was what it was before.

A note of 'Safe travels and happy eating'.
A missing key soon discovered outside.
More cookies inside a sandwich bag.
The telescope missing from the closet.
They just knew: it was the little girl.

She's waited all year.
Not for snow.
Not for gifts.
Not for stockings and treats.
For St. Nick who asked what she wanted for Christmas.

Why spoil the magic?
Don't ruin her night.
Chances are, she's fallen asleep.
Evidence must be left.
The girl would soon see that Santa had come.

And when the sun rose,
The snow shining and cold.
The little girl sprang out of bed.
Not a slipper left behind.
Did Santa really come?

Gifts under the tree.
Stockings filled with goodies.
Cookies eaten and milk gone.
The key on the table with a note.
"Thank you, sweet child, for your kindness and consideration."

A little girl squeals and smiles.
She runs to her sleeping parents.
Note in hand and wakes them.
Shouting: "Santa came! Santa Came!"
Excitement in her little heart.

That when you believe in something.
No matter how silly
Or unbelievable
Even if it turns out to not be real.
Always remember the goodness and magic of this one special night.
Merry Christmas everyone! For my little wildlings, my mama, my brothers and in laws/brother's girlfriends! For my daddy who, then, was still able to give us a Merry Christmas after his passing! For the three in Doggie heaven: Bear, keep on rockin, Little Bear may you live long and forever, for Sioux who is home sweet home; our savior dog, have fun in Doggie heaven! To Eddie who has been with me through 5th Christmas and more to come; the best damn teddy bear! To all of my friends in and out of DA; I'm grateful for all of you and all the support and bearing with my weirdness! Especially to my best, best friend since Elementary! She's too awesome! For everyone else, have a Merry Christmas!

Everyone have a Merry Christmas! Can't wait for the New Year!
