Continuing the Embracing Arlington Arts holiday poem tradition using the “Santa Baby” tune. Remember to support artists, theaters, arts organizations, and galleries this holiday, as well as throughout 2023.
Santa baby, just slip a painting under the tree for me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, a subscription to theater too, for two
I’ll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I’ve missed
Due to all the openings that were dismissed
Next year, we hope all will be good
And we check off COVID from the list
Santa baby, I want a plot, and really that’s not a lot
For a new venue here
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa honey, one little thing I really need
With speed, a ticket to a concert
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, fill my stocking with art arrays and plays
Donations to the arts too
Santa cutie, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With decorations from a gallery
I really do believe the arts
Has an impact on me
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing
A fling of a dancer on stage
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Wishing everyone a festive season and Happy New Year!
