I am compassionate and warm like a cozy winter evening
I wonder if the snow outside will melt soon
I hear the noisy sleigh bells coming from the outside of the tall mountain I see Rudolph the reindeer navigating Santa and all of the gifts in the sleigh I want to build and eat a delicious gingerbread house I am compassionate and warm like a cozy winter evening
I pretend to sleep while Santa comes to my house
I feel electrified when I hear big footsteps that may be Santa’s I touch my beating heart as I wonder what Santa is leaving under the tree I worry that Santa will find out that I’m awake I cry imagining that Santa will forget to eat the cookies I am compassionate and warm like a cozy winter evening
I understand that I’m fortunate to be able to get gifts
I say every child in the world should get gifts I dream that Santa will travel the universe to give gifts I try to be the best person I can be I hope I make my parents and Santa proud I am compassionate and warm like a cozy winter evening
