When I was young I told my sister
“Put your socks beside your pillow, trust me, it’s the rule.”
Said Christmas Grandpa travels quietly
Droppin’ candy for the kids who follow all the clues
She believed me with her whole heart
Laid her little striped socks neatly by her head
And I swore that I’d remember
To sneak in treats before she went to bed
But I fell asleep first
Dreamin’ ’bout snow
Didn’t hear midnight come and go
So she woke up with smelly socks
No candy drops, just laughing nonstop
She shook the pillow, said, “You little fraud
Where’s my sweet reward?”
And even though she teased me then
She still retells that tale again
Our silly little Christmas
Of socks and missed promises
Years have passed but every winter
She reminds me of the prank I didn’t mean to pull
Says “Christmas Grandpa must’ve fainted
Guess my socks were just too… powerful.”
Now we hang them by the chimney
But she keeps one pair tucked under her pillow still
Just to see if I’ll remember
Or if history repeats against my will
We don’t need perfect magic
Just stories we can hold
Even smelly-sock disasters
Turn warm when they get told
Yeah she woke up with smelly socks
No candy drops, just laughing nonstop
I owe her sweets for life because
I broke the Santa clause
And every year she jokes again
“Don’t trust my sis with a plan!”
Our strange and messy Christmas
But full of happy promises
Socks by the pillow
Laughter in the air…
Christmas Grandpa’s coming
