Southern Time Christmas, A

by Robert Bernardini, Robert Bernardi

When L'il Elf Jed falls out of Santa's sleigh high above a Southern farm, thumping down upon the soft ground one balmy Christmas Eve, the story of Santa in the South is brought to light. According to Jed, Santa is a Southerner at heart and never misses a chance to trade in his layers of heavy coats, sweaters, and mittens for overalls and a well-worn baseball cap. He even eats chicken and dumplings, home fries, and grits to get him through the long night delivering toys!

The rhymes don't always scan, and the defining characteristics of Southern seem to be eating grits, drinking tea, and hollering, but this is cute overall.
