Laughing With Santa

Well now,
Beer's the thing, you see,
on Christmas Eve,
when Santa stomps
around the tree.
He will definitely stop
and shake your hand,
chuckle some
and swig that brew
then swear to you
it's the best in all the land.
He'll rock right back,
plop right down,
and say,
"how 'bout another...
one or two."
His cheeks will glow,
and when Rudolph say's
"it's time to go",
he'll yell out loud,
"a lot You know!"
Now Santa's not a drinkin' man,
at least Mrs. Claus thinks that's so,
but sharing beer with lonely one's,
certainly spreads Christmas cheer.
So sink some beer
in the old ice chest
and set it by the tree,
and when Santa comes,
give him one,
you'll both laugh in glee.
And on that day,
after the eve
when everyone else is having fun,
sleep away your emptiness,
laughing with Santa,
as you chug-a-lug some.

BDC - yeah...think I might put some beer out this year and see what transpires...maybe that's how Santa's cheeks stay so rosy (hee hee).

Thank you, Tiersdin, appreciate the read,

And SEA...email that to me...really got my curiosity piqued!
