Listen, everyone

There were objects so peculiar,

They were not to be believed

All around, things to tantalise my brain,

It's a world unlike

Anything I've ever seen

And as hard as I've tried

I can't seem to describe

Like a most improbable dream

But you must believe when I tell you this

It's as real as my skull and it does exist.

Here, let me show you

This is a thing called a present

The whole thing starts with a box...

................

If you please.

Just a box with bright coloured paper

And the whole things topped with a bow

Fill in the Blanks

(A box? Is it steel?)

(Are there locks?)

(Is it filled with a pox?)

(A pox? how delightful a pox)...

(A bow? but why?)

(How ugly)

(What's in it, what's in it?)....

(It's a bat)

(Will it bend?)

(It's a rat)

(Will it break?)

(Perhaps it s the head that I found in the lake)

Listen now you dont understand

That's not the point of Christmas land!

Now pay attention.

We pick up an oversized sock

And hang it, like this, on a wall...

There's no foot inside, but there's candy

Or sometimes it's filled with small toys

(Do they bite, do they snap, or explode in the sack?)

(Or perhaps they just jump out and scare girls and boys!)

There's something here that you don't quite grasp

Well, we may as well give them what they want.

And the best, I must confess

I have saved for the last,

For the ruler of this Christmas land

Is a fearsome king with a deep mighty voice

Least, thats what I have come to understand

And I've also heard it told that he is

Something to behold.

Like a lobster huge and red

And he sets out a sleigh with his reindeer on

Carting bulging sacks with his big, great arms

That is so I've heard it said

And on a dark, cold night

Under full moonlight

He flies into the fog

Like a vulture in the sky

And they call him

Sandy Claws

Open Ended

Can you describe this Sandy Claws that Jack is talking about?

Well at least they're excited

But they dont understand

That special kind of feeling

In Christmas land

Oh well
