Here's the box where you kept all those old letters from Santa
He thanked you for your kindness; said it's in your heart what he believes
Tender affirmations in big calligraphic bold-faced Gothic letters
written to you with you on his mind, every Christmas Eve
G
Someday, y'may have kids of your own
D
Someday, they'll be grown
Bb
maybe they will see this box
A addD
where the parchment scrolls are rolled
Here's a pen like he likes to use, can I show you how to use it?
It makes sacred words on rolled parchment. Don't ya loose it
please don't loose it
Ya' see you keep the nib at an angle, that's how you hold the pen
You're ready to practice, now, "Peace on Earth, Goodwill towards men"
G
Someday, y'may have kids of your own
D
Maybe they'll have their own
Bb
collection of scrolls in this sturdy box
A addD
where the parchment scrolls are rolled
Practice "With Love, from Santa"
With Love from Santa
NOTES
The words on the page offer tender affirmation
of the spirit of Hope, Peace, and Goodwill towards mankind
Santa and I celebrate your pure heart
I hope someday you'll know from the start
how to tell your child they are doing right
and that your child has a box of letters from Santa
and to be present
the box is a symbol for the child's heart with the good sentiments within
Looking over these scrolls you got/saved from Santa
I recall you more excited to hear from him
than opening all your presents
In your closet in a sturdy box you keep these letters from Santa
Keep the spirit alive concept
keep tradition - the pen/parchment/box is the metaphor
making memories
someday you will pass it on
presents came and presents went the first ribbon you would untie was on the scroll
Elf on the Shelf had always brought you laughter
her mischief
