aiting for anta

In Germany St. Nicholas Eve is on December 6th . All the kids leave one shoe or boot infront their room or Frontdoor. They all hope that Santa will leave some sweets for good kids in it. They say that Santa also knows which one kid was bad over the year and they will get some twigs on the back.
My sister Ulrike´s Birthday is on Dec.6th and she always got just sweets and a whole lot of gifts ! In the morning her Birthday gifts and in the evening the treats from Santa, I think it must have been great for her !

The Christmas Dog
by Shel Silverstein

Tonight´s my first night as a watchdog,
and here it is Christmas Eve.
The children are all cozy upstairs,
While I´m guardin´the stockin´s and tree.
What´s now ... footsteps on the roof top?
Could it be a cat or a mouse ?
Who´s this down the chimney ?
A thief with a beard ...
And a big sack for robbin´the house ?
I´m barkin´, I´m growlin´, I´m bittin´his butt.
He howl´s and jumps back in his sleigh.
I scare his strange horses, they leap in the air.
I´ve frightened the whole bunch away.
Now the house is all peaceful and quiet again,
The stockin´s are safe as can be.
Won´t the kiddies be glad when they wake up tomorrow,
And see how I´ve guarded the tree !!!

Ich glaube, ich war auch brav, oder ?
I think I was a good girl, too ? Isn´t it !
