Let Christmas be for Everyone

It has been said that Santa should
Only be good
To children in the neighborhood;
But this is what I say to you;
“All parents need to get a gift or two.”

Your uncle Jake and cousin Joe
Have never heard that, “Ho-ho-ho,”
Let Jake and Joe have lots of fun –
Let Christmas be for everyone.

Because I have some money in
A jar behind the tater bin,
I will give more than I receive;
I only want the kids to leave
Some cookies out on Christmas Eve.

In just a week the season ends;
Give extra hugs to worthy friends.
If Santa wants to stay for tea,
Give kisses by the Christmas tree.
