How the Fairy got on top of the tree |

Long ago in days of Old This is the Legend The Elders told The Children were gathered Around a log fire Sending wishes to Santa For what was required Whilst over in Greenland The Elves worked 'round the clock Producing the Toys to put in their socks An army of Jelly Babies began polishing the Sleigh As the Gingerbread Man got the Reindeer ready for Christmas day When along came the Good Fairy with her Magic Wand And offered to lend a helping hand At a quarter to Twelve it was nowhere near ready to go Only half the presents had been loaded When it began to Snow Because by now the Elves & Pixies Were having a grand old time Having found Santa’s stash of Bacardi breezers And Mulled cranberry wine Santa Pulled on his long Red robe That almost touched the floor Followed by his Shiny Black Wellies Then headed for the door Once outside what he saw made him cross And he shouted sternly at a drunken Jack Frost, "Get over here and finish loading the sleigh You Too Good Fairy, without delay!" Thousands of Dollies & Teddies, Play stations & bikes Were precariously balanced even obscuring the lights When Santa shouted, “ Stop! We really must go, Rudolph make ready to guide us with your Noses Red Glow" The Head Elf began the countdown But got stopped at 3, As The Good Fairy shouted "Santa, where should I stick this Tree?" |

Aunt Tom spot on! it was written for Rhiannon, my only worry is when she is older she may start to ask me to clarify where the tree went ! |

This was a delight to read even in September. Maybe Santa should load the tree now just in case. |
