Boy! Was that a long time ago.

When I was about ten, and my brother was older,

old Santa Claus got bolder and bolder,
he was trying to hide and I wondered why;
we already knew Santa was just pie in the sky.

But my father, was tricky and so he persisted,
with some help from mom, I'm sure she assisted;
signing the tag on the present we got,
with Santa Paws or Santa Claws, whether we liked it or not.

But, most of all, it was the thought that counted,
and there was no reason to have temper mounted;
it was part of the deal, it was just that way,
and it always made Christmas...a special day.
