Now in our land we sing loud praise of Santa all the time,

And tell about his goodness great, in prose and jingling rhyme;

And yet it seems the more we sing about the jolly elf,

But children in far Norway are better girls and boys

Than we who live in this fair land and think so much of toys

That we forget about the pets while feeding our own selves

While Norway children in the fall they work to gather corn

And save it for the birds they feed on every Christmas morn;

So we should follow in their steps and feed the wee birds crumbs

A CHRISTMAS WISH FOR ALL MY FRIENDS
