Description
The farm cats rubbed around Santa Claus' legs as he tried to get closer toward the Christmas tree standing in the farmhouse front room one Christmas Eve. They watched him deliver all the curious parcels and followed him out into the cold frosty night.
Santa got back to his sleigh and reindeer deciding to rest a while, so the cats stayed with them. Santa loved animals and laughed and talked to them enjoying a few minutes before he set off again.
Silver Bells - The poem,
Across the snow the silver bells
Come near and yet more near;
Each day and night, each day and night
They twinkle soft and clear.
Tis Father Christmas on his way
Across the winter snows;
While on his sleigh the sliver bells
Keep chiming as he goes.
I listen for them in the night
I listen all the day;
I think these merry silver bells
Are long, long on the way!
Hamish Hendrey.
Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year,
to all my friends, thank you so much for your friendship and support during 2011, love to you all, hugs Jane xx
