California Christmas
by Mary Ellen Smith
It didnt snow for Christmas here
It did one time is what I hear
The palm trees swayed
And the music played.
California Christmas.
We didnt have a sleigh ride of course
In fact I never saw a horse.
A Volkswagon van
Way cool, man.
California Christmas.
Santa wore a bathing suit
Sandals on his feet, no boot.
And for what its worth,
Yes Virginia, he does surf
California Christmas.
I think I saw his happy elves
Clearing out the Krispy Kreme shelves.
Starbucks cup in one hand
On their way to Disneyland.
California Christmas.
And if you look with all your might
At the Hollywood sign at night
Youll see a strange and friendly glow
From Rudolphs nose and you will know
A California Christmas.

| Posted by Maureen Glaude on 12/27/03 at 04:30 PM fun and interesting for me, who's always wondered what it's like where there's no snow. We had a lot of rain just before, and were glad of the snow. |

| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 12/27/03 at 07:53 PM Great fun with a California Christmas. We spent one Christmas in Florida when our kids were much, much younger. We went to SeaWorld on Christmas Day. During the time we also took in Disney World. So the poem in a strange sort of way is nostalgic! :) |

Cute and fun read. Great write. Yeah, it just doesn't seem like Chritmas without snow. |
