Cordial Mr. C.

"I'm very glad," said Mr. C,
"To be myself, for, without me,
There'd be no Christmas,
and, how shocking. No Chocolate
Creams to fill each stocking!"
 

Delightful Mr. D.

Said D, "I so dislike to say
'Do this,' or 'Don't do that,' all day,
But I just smile from ear to ear
When I am used for 'Daddy Dear!'"
 

Earnest Mr. E.

"I stand for Evergreen," said E,
"The kind that makes the Christmas-tree,
And Easter Eggs the Bunnies bring
To show that it is really Spring."
 

Said Genial Mr. G.

"I stand for Goose and Gander too,
And 'twas for me the Garden Grew,
And only think! How sad 'twould be,
There'd be no Green Grass
without me!"

Kindly Mr. K.

"I stand for many things," said K,
"For Kings and Kites,
and Kits that play,
But yet the word that I like best
Is Kindness: that leads all the rest!"
 

Popular Mr. O.

Said Roly-Poly Mr. O.
"I'm popular, I must be so,
'Cause every where I go I hear
Somebody calling me 'O dear!'"
 

Surprising Mr. S.

"I'm first in Santa Claus," said S,
"And last in Christmas Happiness:
And without me, it's Simply Shocking,
No one could hang a
Single Stocking!"
 

Lazy Mr. Z.

Said dizzy, Zigzag Mr. Z,
"I'm just as laZy as can be:
So that is why, dear little friend,
They've put me way down at
THE END."
