The Arndale Centre Christmas

At last Christmas had come to Manchester !

In the Arndale Centre it couldn't be faster...

In all the shops, there were great things to buy...

A million dresses and shirts to try...

Santa zoomed in from the sky...

On his sleigh from way up high !

He landed on the roof, like new in the snow,

From up there you could see a panoramic view don't you know...

Crowds of people all milling around...

A hundred metres below on the ground...

A large musical band, all playing a song...

A magical choir all singing along...

A Christmas tree the size of a house...

(Though from up there, it looked like a mouse !)

Santa spied a fountain squirting water...

The robin slipped but Santa caught her...

She fluttered down the chimney pot inside...

Santa followed, a considerably bigger slide !

He landed on hot coals...

Santa's suit wripped and soon had holes...

Mrs Christmas gave a smile....

Hadn't done much stitchin' for a while...

"That's no bother !" Santa said...

Let's go to the Arndale instead...

Along the aisles the sleigh slipped and skid...

That's precisely what they did...

Through the Christmas crowds they fought a lot...

Then they bought and got...

A new pair of pants...

Some stocking socks...

3 large plants...

And some building blocks !

A new polka dot shirt...

A box of chocs...

A red fur-lined skirt...

A gift box...

The Arndale Centre had it all...

That's why each Christmas, Santa came to call..!!!
