Kids know
Santa is Real
They sense his presents
Elves who work
Listen to music
— Wrap
A Christmas tree,
A Colorado beaver,
Nice Gnawing You!
Mexican sheep
Say, Merry Christmas,
“Fleece Navidad!”
Santa’s sleigh
Cost nothing
It’s on the house!
A serene sentiment …
A Withering Winter
Of Snow
A Frozen Wonderland
Night Snow, Utagawa Hiroshige, circa 1833, The Met
