A mysterious item, right under the tree…
It says “Secret Santa” but who could that be?
Open me up and take a quick guess…

Can you guess who?
Got this gift for you?
Cuz yes it is true…
I love you, I do!
Your Secret Santa has done well today
To get you a gift on this special day

But we hope this gift makes you go “yay!”
You better not shout, you better not cry,
You better light up, I’m telling you why!
Cuz Secret Santa’s coming to town…
Your Santa’s a secret, but you can still cheer,
As the time to open gifts is finally here,
Take a quick peek and have no more fear,
For your Santa will smile and make themselves clear!
Your Santa’s true name is one you don’t know,
But open the gift, and the clues they will show,
Exactly who got you, and then you shall know!
So what are you waiting for? Open it, go!
I’d tell you my name, but it’s a Secret I fear…
But do not fret, for the answer is near!
Open the gift, and remember to smile,
I hope it sparks joy for the next little while.
