Merry Christmas and the best of Seasons from Echo Germanica

My gift to all begins with this Christmas riddle,
Who is always merry and fit as a fiddle?

Who has heart, who has soul?
Who resides with the Mrs. at the North Pole?

Who fills stockings and or shoes?
Who chases away the Winter blues?

Who is the most awaited fellow?
Who loves hot chocolate with marshmallow?

Who drives a laden full sleigh by full moonlight?
Who sports a beard that is snowy white?

Who arrives at the end of each year?
Who spreads good will and good cheer?

Who has a workshop with all kinds of toys lining the shelves?
Handcrafted expertly by busy little elves.

Who enjoys world wide fame?
Who calls each of his reindeer by name?

Who do the children pen their letters to?
Who makes wishes and dreams come true?

The answer is Santa, also known as St. Nick,
Who is as traditional as a striped sweet peppermint stick.

I hope this evokes a chuckle or two,
The very best of the holiday season to you.
