Christmas Elf

Letter Seventeen

My contribution to the 2011 RPM Holiday Challenge.

I want to be your Santa’s elf
I want to build your toys
I want to be the one who makes
Presents for the girls and boys

I want to slide down your chimney baby
Fill your stockings with gifts, not coal
I want to be your favorite gift
Keep you warm when the nights are cold

So let me be
The gift you find under the tree
We can stay in, away from the snow

Christmas comes just once a year
A time to embrace the cheer
Make this my favorite holiday
Tell Santa I should stay

So let me be
The gift you find under the tree
We can stay in, away from the snow
