2009  

Twas a few weeks before Christmas and working many a day to hand make the gifts I was giving away

I had glue in my hair, sparkles on my nose, fake white snow and paint on my clothes

Needing a break, I put all aside; that’s when we decided to go for a ride

We traveled south and ended up in a hurry trying to make the awaiting Cape May Ferry

Shopping outlets seemed a fun thing to do; also buying other gifts for those that we knew

But what surprised me most was the ferry captain himself; he was dressed in red and resembled an elf

When the ferry stopped and we went to leave, what I tell you now you won’t believe

We weren’t in Lewes but in a wonderland of dreams where wishes come true or so it seems

 Icicles sparkled like diamonds in the snow; trees glistened with beautiful clear lights and bows

And off in the distance not too far away stood a magnificent, breathtaking magical sleigh  

Its runners were gold and the lettering too; the rest iridescent red, white, green and blue

And standing proudly beside were reindeer quite large and the red nosed Rudolph seemed to be in charge

The “captain” then took us to a house made of sweets; made of all known kinds of tempting treats

It was a true gingerbread house from roof to floor with gumdrops and icing and a real chocolate door

Mrs. Claus greeted us warmly and invited us inside and showed us their home, what a wonderful guide

We saw the kitchen with cookies and candies galore then the workshop with toys, games, clothes and more

We were in that magical land where dreams come true thanks to Santa and his helpers for all that they do

Children worldwide awaken early Christmas day anxious for their gifts under the tree on display

This spirit of Christmas comes to us from above bringing to all worldwide hope, joy, peace and love

May this sharing and caring stay throughout the year are the wishes of Santa, elves and reindeer 

May you all have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! ........ Barbara and Bob Fasy
