Operation Santa Claus is packed up with care

By Stephanie Webster

Attention: Large missions, small missions, and those in Alert!
We've packed up morale, which surely won't hurt.

In warehouses, in Canada, the boxes are stacked;
Labeled, 'Op Santa,' for Trenton loadmasters to pack;
With our old faithful Hercs, so active and quick;
25 Supply Group, J-staff, and wit;
Operation Santa Claus will set the tone;
In time for the holidays, it's coming from home.

President's Choice cookies, some peanuts and candy;
And a few clean shirts we expect will be handy.
There is one other item we want you to know;
Your Tim Hortons coffee is 'good to go'.

More surprises to follow from the Op Santa sack;
It's so difficult we are struggling to hold back.

Be ready for the holidays and keep watch of the sky;
St. Nick has sent presents, on a Hercules they fly.

On Her Majesty's Ships? You'll get yours too!
It will be delivered by…you know who.

Tear open the boxes, don't throw out your letter;
It comes from a place that couldn't be better.
With MFRCs, we've jumped through some hoops;
the card is from kids, saying thanks to our troops.
