We have a tradition in our neighborhood that started a long time ago but stopped for a few years and now I want to start it again. The tradition is that we have a big plastic Santa that we secretly put on each others porches at night and you are supposed to keep it a secret. We had a Santa and someone that got "Santa'ed" moved and either took the Santa with her or donated it for some reason. I bought a new Santa now I need a poem. Something about keeping it a secret, Christmas Cheer and passing it on and on and on.... I know that's not much to go on but I need help. It will come with a printed Santa picture so people know that you have been "Santa'ed". Please help. Thanks Ladies!

This Santa came to visit you
To bring some Christmas Cheer!
It's now your job to pass him on
Tonight when no one's near...
Don't let anybody hear you,
Or see you with Saint Nick,
Which neighbor should get "Santa-d" next?
It's now your turn to pick

Cybermommyx4, that was wonderful, did you just come up with that yourself?

I think that's a fun idea!

Glad you liked it Yes, I just made it up. It was easy to make up a poem for someone *else* BECAUSE I am trying to finish one I am working on for my DS's yearbook page, and am having writer's block, lol! It's ALWAYS easier when it's for someone else

We do this in our neighborhood but its done at Halloween. We *BOO* each other. Someone has the poem printed (i dont have a copy on hand), they tape it too your door, leave a gift of candy on your porch, ring your doorbell at night (after leaving the stuff) and they run. The kids LOVE this. You then have to pick someone else to *BOO* and leave them a treat for their family...

I never thought about it for Christmas! Cute!
