Christmas Getaway

The sleigh is empty
The list is ticked
It’s back to base
Double quick

Mrs. Claus is waiting
To greet me
Fidgeting around
Quite excitedly

The bags are packed
And in the sleigh
We’re off to Florida
For a holiday

Time to Unwind

I can understand Santa and Mrs. Claus need for a long relaxing holiday after their frenetic day of delivering presents, but I hope they've left someone behind to sort out any misdeliveries or returns.
