Gardner 2005 Christmas Letter
to the tune of
Here Comes Santa Clause

Here comes Benjamin, Erin’s right behind,
Running all the way
Ben has basketball and Erin’s soccer; we’re busy night and day
Both are learning, both are reading
We’re all merry & bright
Count our blessings and say our prayers
We’re grateful day and night!

Here comes Daddy now & there’s Mommy too
Working all the way
They bought a boat and we all love to float, and hope for sunny days
We just love it, just can’t beat it
Had some great summer fun
Dad’s the captain, mom’s his shipmate
She thinks he’s number one! 

Here comes Toby, Wow! He is almost nine
But hardly any gray
He’s a spry one and a sly one, loves to run away
We are meeting all our neighbors
From blocks to miles away
Careful Toby, watch for cars!
Don’t hurry your last day
