Dear Santa,
Dear Santa,
Do you have a present for me?
Dear Santa,
Dear Santa,
I’m Jewish, but I still have my needs
My mother says not to write
Because we’ve had eight days of gifts
My mother says not to write
But I’m feeling quite adrift
My neighbor has trees with colored lights
And a collection of presents to boot
We have a menorah, latkes, and dreidels to spin
But I wish I could have yours too
You see I know Hanukkah has its lessons and latkes are tasty food
But I sometimes pine for eggnog and presents
And some people can be Scrooges too.
So let me come over and share in your joy
Ill bring my dreidel and try out your toys
I won’t say prayers, but I’ll share in Christmas spirit
Maybe we’ll put a menorah on top of your tree
And we’ll be both in it to win it
We’ll combine our cultures whether we’re Christians, druids, or Jews
Ill finally be able to have it all
And Jewmas will be a holiday for us too.
