Santa Claus Is Coming To Town?

Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town

"You better watch out.  You better not cry.  Better not pout, I'm telling you why.  Santa Claus is coming to town."

Christmas is just right around the corner.  The big ole guy with a fat white beard in a red suit is back!

"He's making a list and checking it twice.  Gonna find out who's naughty and nice.  Santa Claus is coming to town."

I remember when I was a kid, every year I would hang one of my socks on our window on Christmas eve before going to bed.  (Yes, it's the same sock I wore for school, heheh!)  The next morning, I'd eagerly open that sock filled of goodies from Santa Claus.  Then my Christmas is complete!

"He sees you when you're sleeping.  He knows when you're awake.  He knows if you've been bad or good.  So be good for goodness sake!"

But one Christmas morning, Santa broke my heart.  As usual, I eagerly looked into the sock I hang the night before but only to find it empty!  "Wait a minute...." I told myself.  "Did I hang the sock at the wrong spot?  Did Santa miss my house?  Was Santa sick?  On vacation?  Oh my gosh, I'm so busted!  My mom must have told Santa that I've been naughty this year!"  On that one fateful day, I was all torn apart.

"You better watch out.  You better not cry.  Better not pout, I'm telling you why.  Santa Claus is coming to town."

The next Christmas came and I was still feeling traumatized.  So I did not hang another sock ever again.  Then after many years, I moved to the States.  I was a grown up then.  On my first Christmas here, I remember talking to some kids and told them that there's no Santa Claus.  Then another adult overheard my conversation with the kids and scolded me, "You don't tell kids like that!"  I didn't know any better and didn't realize that those children were Santa Claus' fanatics.  They argued so hard that Santa is real.  That they even found some reindeer 'poop' on their floor last Christmas.  A solid proof that Santa with his reindeer came to their house...therefore, he really exists!  

"Santa Claus is coming to town."

Now, I am curious to know what would each of you wish most for this Christmas.  Let's not talk about world wide peace or love or new boyfriend/girlfriend but something that can bought from the store.  It can be simple or it can be extravagant.  Who knows?  Santa may really come to your town and give you that present you wished for.  As for me, I want a new mobile phone...an iPhone 4s.  Anyone???

    Dear Ohnie and dear Miley you are making me smiling :)

    The story of Snta Claus is so beautiful, I also like gifts so much!

    And how about tree?

    I saw that a tree comes to house and then all decorate it.

    Is it correct?

    A tree like this;

    Which things are used for decorating it?

    What I know is something like this;

    Now, please let me ask which other things can be used on it?

    P.S.

    Dear Ohnie;

    I've asked this question about the tree here becuase I'm not familiar with its decoration at all, If it needs a new blog please help.

  • Geez, Miley, aren't you asking for too much? LOL. Santa will go broke!
