Once upon a time
in that little town of mine
in that great northern land of IDUNNO,
Lives the ninth reindeer,
a little girl who is so dear,
and her eyes shine bright as diamonds in the snow.
We never hear her name
in that song with all the fame
'bout Rudolph and his shiny red nose.
But it be TRUE DAT!
She is NO 'FRAIDY CAT
when it comes to keeping Santa on his toes!
You never hear her name
and she never claims her fame
as her job is the hardest one of all -
She keeps the children happy,
and the other reindeer snappy
as Santa sails throughout the Winter Glow.
She sits on Santa's sleigh,
Rides beside him all the way,
Standing guard while he shimmies down each soot-filled chimney.
Always making certain
that the 'wizard behind the curtain'
never skins neither one of his round and chubby knees.
Her eyes will only shine
throughout all space and time
In the split second when children open up their presents.
For then she truly sees
Past Santa’s old and chubby knees
‘Tis the season of Baby Jesus' presence.
Yes - the name you never hear
of Santa’s ninth and final reindeer
Is extraordinaire and oh, so right.
The meaning only our Creator knows
and Santa whispers (as he puts his finger to his nose)
To wish us ALL a peaceful and sacred Christmas Eve Silent Night.
