"If I Could Find Old Santa" Author Unknown

If I could find old Santa
I'd ask him for a ride.
Under the fur-trimmed blankets
I'd nestle by his side.
But when he went a climbing Down,
down the chimney tall
I'd wait for him upon the roof
For fear that I might fall.
I'd sit and hold the reindeer
And if they tried to go,
I'd call out to them loudly,
Whoa! Reindeer, whoa!


This poem is about Christmas and seeing Santa. It is clearly written by, or supposed to be written by a young child. Every kid dreams of seeing Santa, but no matter what, they never do. They always fall asleep. I like this poem because when I was little, I used to think about Santa all the time around Christmas. I was determined to see him and his 9 spectacular reindeer. I too always wanted to ride in Santa's magical sleigh and yell "Ho, Ho, Ho! Merry Christmas!" with him like he would always do in every Christmas movie. I never accomplished my dream though, and now I understand why. Fortunately though, before I knew the secret, Santa really made Christmas special :) Now, when I see my younger cousins cheering over what "Santa" brought them on Christmas morning, I feel happy, because seeing them brings back some realy great memories from when I was young.
