Embracing Arlington Arts’ Annual Holiday Poem

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!
