This night I write, Dear Santa Claus,

Please do this for me, just because

I love my fellow man this year, I see,

A little bit more than presents for me.

Don’t bring me presents for Christmas this year,

Don’t bring me kindness or bundles of cheer,

Give all my gifts to those in need,

And let your gift to me be a good deed.

Take all my sweaters to ol’ Good Will,

Take all the toys to the poorer ones still.

Bring your soul a moral clarity,

And give all my presents to charity.

Please do a kind act for one who is down,

Help all the homeless all over town,

Please lend a hand to one who has none,

And give your laughter to everyone.

Don’t bring me presents for Christmas this year,

Don’t bring me mittens or treasures so dear,

Give all my gifts to those in need,

Let your gifts to me be only good deeds.

I have just one wish for those in command,

Of people and money o’er all the lands,

Take just a portion of what you are worth

And help bring about Peace on this Earth.

Don’t bring me presents for Christmas this year,

Don’t bring me kindness or bundles of cheer,

Give all my gifts to those in need,

And let your gift to me be a good deed.
