Ann, I think I am going to save every review you ever gave me and put them in my feel good folder. I have one so when I get down, I can look in it and I instantly feel better. You always have a knack for doing that for me.
Thank you for being such a sweetheart. I appreciate you so very much, my dear friend.

I didn't realize that there was such a problem at the North Pole this year. I was unaware that the elves were unionized. I guess I could get used to Christmas in July. At least the people in the southern hemisphere could have a white Christmas.

Hahahahaha! Paul, you do crack me up. I had to come up with something, so how about a Santa with a big head and only thinking about me me me?
Thanks for your fun review, my friend. Good to see you again.
Comment from Ulla
Hi Debi, this is really a funny poem about poor Santa being down in the dumps. But no wonder all the elves and reindeer have gone on strike. But after a heartfelt apology from Santa, everything goes back to normal. All the best of luck with this gem. Ulla xx

Maybe a little silly, but that's what they wanted and I am liking silly these days more than serious. Thanks Ulla, for your fun review and comments. I appreciate them very much, dear friend.

You have added quite a bit of joy to the Christmas season with this humorous poem. Who, aside from you, would have thought of Santa being depressed and sitting in an empty sleigh? Each verse is more creative and funnier than the preceding verse. I really enjoyed this poem.

If you got any sweeter, Lorraine, I'd mistake you for sugar. LOL. Thank you for all the kindness you always show me. I feel so blessed to have you for a friend. And anytime you want more butterflies or anything for that fact, you let me know. Thanks for all your kind comments for this silly Santa poem. Your kind words meant the world to me. Thanks again, my wonderful EA!
Love ya, Debi
Comment from Joanne Gill-Maddick
I love this poem this is hilarious. Well put together it has a great flow and rhyme scheme. This is one of myfavorite verses. Nobody cares that all the toys
Are made by elves for girls and boys
They say he works them like a dog
While Santa's just a glory hog. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Terry Broxson
Dang it, say it ain't so! What has happened at the North Pole? It sounds like a bunch of politicians showed up and said, "Hi, we are from the government and are here to help." Help like this we don't need. Very creative and fun, good luck in the contest. Terry.

Yes, it does seem to have gotten a bit political. But union isn't so bad, as long as it creates a more equal work opportunity.
However, it is only for this poem. We all know that the real Santa treated the elves with much compassion, as I read in your book recently.
Thanks for the fun and kind review and comments.

LOL! I got to keep an eye out for mystery writers.
Comment from jmdg1954
This is a great contest entry.
It had me smiling and chucking from start to finish with all those problems at the North Pole.
Well, there's only a few weeks remaining to right the ship.
Good luck, Santa...
Great poem/story...

An excellent Christmas poem with a good theme, and a perfect theme at the humorous things and possibilities for what can go wrong for Santa, this is so well written, and deserves a look in, in this contest, well done, blessings Roy

Comment from karenina
Oh no! Not cool! We need Santa in our lives...
He may not pull the sleigh but he does pull his weight!
Maybe the elves and reindeer need to be unionized!
Hey, it worked for the UAW...
Better conditions for them AND a happy ending...
A "binding agreement" that toys WILL bring cheer to children on Christmas...
And in July?
I'm all in on that plan!
Cute poem!
I'm ho ho hoing!

Hi Karenina, I really appreciate your review because you just let me know that the ending that I changed did not get saved when I clicked on it last night right after I posted it. It loaded for a long time, but when it finally was done, I was sure my new ending was on it.
Thanks for the fun and kind comments but I most certainly appreciate this information. Please check it again, as Santa does go after all.
Thanks again.
-
I did check! (last night was a challenge to load poems or changes)
Yay!
Happy Kids!
I amended my review to reflect your new ending!
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
Santas are certainly a happy thought; but this Santa got depressed as he had too much to do; at least his reindeer thought so but they did the work and Santa got all the praise. And then his sleigh was empty and needed some filling.

Rosemary, I thank you very much for such a kind review and comments.
However, I just realized that the ending that I thought had saved was different than the one that you read, Just thought you might want to see what really happened. LOL. Thanks again, my dear friend.
