Christmas is getting too commercialized,
long ago we should have realized.
It’s advertising everything all season long,
but where did it all start going wrong?

For one, ole Santa should share the blame,
it’s such a low down dirty shame.
Always advertising, and why is that,
done by this ole elf in a funny hat?

He’s supposed to deliver tons of toys,
for the world’s little girls and boys.
Getting glasses of milk and cookies too,
but advertising Santa?, shame on you.

Now you wonder what I’m talking about,
I thought by now you’d have figured it out.
Advertising for Hostess without a thought,
talking about a great product they’ve got.
As he shakes from his belly, down to his toes,
that’s the reason behind all of his “Ho Ho’s”

Great humor throughout and a great tie in with Santa's trademark ho-ho-ho.
Best wishes in the competition.
