All the world is happy when Santa Claus comes.
~Maud Lindsay
Something magic happens
When you don a Santa suit
You can argue against it
But the point is rather moot
You see, I have firsthand experience
With the phenomenon that happens
It’s an eye-opening experience
One of life’s biggest transformations
It all started the second
I walked out the door
On the inside, I didn’t feel
Any different than before
But all of a sudden
The world instantly changed
Like the molecules around me
Had been magically rearranged
The second they saw me
It happened so quickly
It almost seemed eerie
Then my arm started waving
How? I don’t even know
And I was ever so startled
When I blurted, “Ho-Ho-Ho!”
The gait of my walk
Changed from a hurried pace
To a nice pleasant stroll
And I found a smile on my face
I started rubbing my pillowed tummy
And stroking my fake beard
I felt a presence well up inside me
The sensation was quite weird
It was the spirit of Santa
It was unlike anything on this earth
You can’t put a price upon it
Nothing carries such value or such worth
There is no Santa training necessary
The transformation is complete
The second a child’s face lights up
And the feeling can’t be beat
So if you don’t believe in magic
All that’s necessary for you to do
Is don a Santa suit
And you can feel it too
Will burst out of you like a beam
And you’ll be transported to another world
Like you’re living in a dream
At least once in their life
Everyone should put on the Santa gear
It’s an experience you won’t forget
And one you will always hold dear
