Tim was only 6 years old
But he'd heard schoolfriends say
That Father Christmas wasn't real
And didn't drive a sleigh.
That Rudolph was a fairy tale
Elves, just imagination
But Timmy knew that they were wrong
And he had confirmation
For just last year he'd seen them all
The reindeer and the elf
He'd sat on Santa's lap and asked
For more than just himself.
He asked that Mum and Dad might stop
The arguing and fighting
And be just as they used to be
Loving and inspiring
Santa heard, and so this year
Is beautiful and gay
So Tim believes in Santa Claus
No matter what they say.
