But not for long.
Someone else had the same thought as me. Santa needed some children to have his picture made with. This mom provided hers.Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list,
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry.
Better not pout, I'm telling you why.

"Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" was written by J. Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie. It was first sung on Eddie Cantor's radio show in November 1934, becoming an instant hit with orders for 100,000 copies of sheet music the next day and over 400,000 copies sold by Christmas.
A Christmas classic was born.
Nice...I wonder how many children have been photographed with that Santa...and I wonder how much money Mr. Coots and Gillespie made on that song!!!
ReplyDeleteIt won't be long and Santa won't be bored at all. He will be flying around delivering toys to good girls and boys. Fun photo.

Very cute Santa!
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if Mr. Coots or Mr. Gillespie were inspired to write that song by watching their children (or others) misbehave during the holiday season. It sure has worked to make many generations of children toe the line, at least momentarily anyway!
Wow, thanks for the history on the song. That was amazing for back in the 30s. And you pictures: Great! Thanks for sharing! Stevie, I'm 64 today...yikes!

Santa is cute and that Soda Fountain shoppe appears to be quite charming...I love an old fashioned shoppe like that!
ReplyDeleteThat is so darn fun! And such a cute name for a shop ~ The Soda Fountain! I'd lurve to go there!
ReplyDeleteNice song....I was searching so many Christmas song lately...for my Christmas Shoot...
ReplyDeleteI would like to stand there and take a picture 2 :)
Have a wonderful next week!
I like your blog!
That has to be one of the greatest Christmas songs ever.
ReplyDeleteI also love 'Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas' - so much so that I only have to hear the first line and the tears well up - sentimental fool that I am!
Glad to hear that you like little bird pendant - but of course birdies ARE your thing!
