Santa's Bristol Sherry Christmas Dream

Whenever Christmas afternoon got boring,

Santa was often found in the chair, loudly snoring !

His huffs and puffs were so very loud....

The elves gathered round in a very loud crowd...

Santa dreamed of surprises....and hundreds of mince pies-es...

Presents piled up high to the eyes-es...

He dreamed of the best Christmas dinner in all Christmasland...

Of playing the trumpet in the grotto band...

He dreamed of ice-cream and doughnuts too...

Dreamed of a visit to the zoo...

All around Santa, Christmas was busy...

The Christmas fairy was in a real dizzy tizzy !

He didn't much care one jot at all..

Sat in his armchair by the door in the hall...

Outside in the garden, was a freezing snowstorm...

But in front of the fire was cosy and warm !

In his slippers, Santa wiggled his toes...

Dreaming of the places his sleigh often goes...

The cat rolled over and purred quite loudly !

"Dinner's ready, Santa !" Mrs Christmas called proudly !!!

Santa stretched and yawned...the dog turned round...the candles burned...

Christmas was always Santa's favourite dream...eating mince pies and sipping Harvery's Bristol cream.
