Odin has an Elfgram.

[Banjoman]

Today my socks are striped bright red, I have no time to lie a’bed,
I’m running round with a long list to ensure no hounds are missed. 
Odin, your name has reached the top, in Delaware Santa will stop  
to bring you all your heart’s desire while you are snoozing by the fire.

Some goodies he would like to bring to make you want to dance and sing.
Do you like toys, do you like treats, do you like booties for your feets? 
But no, you are a greyhound bold who faces up to winter cold,
or better, stays tucked up inside and watches others slip and slide, 
booties are not the things for you so tell me what you think would do.

Your Mum, Irene, can tell the time and at making coats looks pretty fine, 
can you tell me what else she likes, like eating sweets or riding bikes.? 
Does she collect things willy-nilly or go for something soft and frilly?
Odin, please help me if you can so Santa can shop with a plan.

Santa dear, holiday time is near.

Odin, like most boys, loves his toys.

And American made treats are what he eats.

Mom says to make it about me (Odie), her needs are whatever you make them be.

Thanks!

Odin you flew back so fast I felt the draught as you passed,

I’ll tell Santa what you said (are you free to pull his sled?),

then send him Christmas shopping while back into bed you’re hopping.

Just one more thought; Odin is a Hanukkah boy.

[Banjoman]

I’m sorry that we missed Hanukkah, I told Santa to stop playing snooker

And set to work to get your gift, then he couldn’t get the sleigh to shift

As the reindeer decided to go on strike, so he had to go shopping on his bike!

But in the end the task was done and in the post by half past one.

I’m told Saturday it should arrive if the mailman’s up and about by five.

So Odin that’s the day to wait, sitting by your garden gate,

Ready to give the mailman a lick then grab your parcel and scarper quick!

[Houndtime]

Odin will be on the lookout!
