1. Santa is my Buddy By Teresa & Paul Jennings © 1998 Plank Road Publishing Music K-8, Vol. 9 #2 PowerPoint by Ralph Shoemaker III

2. I’ve been very good this year, pleasant, helpful and sincere.

3. Cleaned my room and washed the car. Stayed out of the cookie jar. (Mostly)

4. Did my homework ev’ry day, no matter what my teachers say.

5. Even washed behind my ears. I sure hope Santa reappears. (Okay Santa! Anytime!)

6. Oh, Santa is my buddy. (We go way back) Santa is my pal. (We’re on a first name basis)

7. I almost like him half as much as my pet hamster, Hal.

8. (Well, Hal and I have been though a lot together.)

9. When my Mom said, “Rise and Shine”, I didn’t even cry or whine. (Much)

10. I gave Hal my garlic bread and scraped the gum off of my bed. (Almost)

11. I heard Santa had a list. I made sure I wasn’t missed.

12. Found him on the Internet and e-mailed what I’d like to get. (Isn’t technology wonderful?)

13. Oh, Santa is my buddy. (Ready when you are, S.C.)

14. Santa is my pal. (I’ve got pictures to prove it)

15. I almost like him half as much as my pet hamster, Hal. (Hal truly understands me.)

16. Oh, Santa is my buddy. (Just ask him!)

17. Yes, he and I are friends. (It’s a meaningful relationship.)

18. And even Hal and Santa bond till shopping season ends. (Hal is just that kind of hamster.)

19. Yes, even Hal and Santa bond till shopping season ends.

20. (I wonder if the Easter Bunny has an e-mail address?)
