We wrote christmas poems today!
Sant Claus
Who comes on Christmas Eve?
Santa Claus with his sleigh?
With all the toys for all the kids about to shout hooray!
Who says Ho- Ho- HO with a big red suit?
Santa with his sleigh.
About to eat some cookies and get back on his sliegh.
Who drinks milk in one big gulp and flighs of on his way?
Santa Claus with his sleigh.
