The Holiday Express Some think, when Santa goes on his way, He makes his rounds in a holiday sleigh; That across the midnight sky he flies 'Mid sleigh bell chimes and reindeer sighs. But, as for me, I'd hazard a guess He travels, instead, by Holiday Express. A train would be the way I'd go To make deliveries in the snow. Though, not on a sterile, modern thing, But an engine built when train was king - A black locomotive, trailing steam, With steel and brass shined to a gleam. (The kind g-grandpa used to ride When he rolled across the countryside.) A workshop on wheels, the elves all on board, Making last minute gifts while the steam engine roared; Slowly and stealthily pulling into each station, Where helpers would wait with anticipation. After Santa unloaded the appropriate packs, With a wave of his hand, he'd be off down the tracks; Warm and protected from snow, sleet and rain... Speeding through time on his Holiday Train!
