‘Twas the week before Christmas
And there was trouble at the North Pole
Several of Santa’s reindeer wanted out of the business
They said working every Christmas Eve is getting old
They told Santa they wouldn’t be flying this year
Led by Donner but followed by Comet, Vixen, and Prancer
Donner tried to organize all the reindeer
But Cupid, Blitzen, Dasher, and Dancer
Those four said no, we enjoy traveling around the globe
We only work one day a year
We love seeing the children and bringing hope
Bringing wonders, gifts, and cheer
We have 364 days of rest and that is just one perk
We can train and relax and take long vacations
You are silly for protesting one night of work
There is no reason for you four to have this frustration
The arguing and bickering was causing more of a division
Both sides believed they were right
Cupid, Blitzen, Dasher, and Dancer made a difficult decision
They agreed right there and then on that fateful night
They had been friends and worked together for years
But the time had come and they could no longer be friends
Donner, Comet, Vixen, and Prancer changed too much it appears
The stress and the fighting seemed to never end
They were sad but they knew they had to go their own way
If they stayed friends Santa would think they revolted too
They liked their jobs and knew there was nothing else they could say
So they severed all ties, it wasn’t easy but it was the wisest thing to do
Santa came and saw the division that had taken place
He saw how Cupid, Blitzen, Dasher, and Dancer had to decide
To not associate with the others that would bring them disgrace
Santa knew he had to find four new reindeer for his sleigh ride
Cupid, Blitzen, Dasher, and Dancer would persevere
They were joined by Cinnamon, Gumdrop, Sparkles, and Peppermint
So listen up my friends and learn from these reindeer
If you hang with the wrong crowd it is only imminent
That you too will find yourself in a sticky situation
And in trouble you will find yourself likely
To have a sturdy house you must have a strong foundation
Listen to your heart and choose your friends wisely
My God, My Music, My Life
