Santa Baby

Several vintage christmas postage stamps on blue background

Where are you, Santa Baby… I want to tell you

I’ve been a little naughty… but

I’ve been ever so nice

But I cannot go on living without a Martini and ice.

The party is in full swing

And I know someone is going to sing… still

I can’t go on living without a Martini and Ice

The lights are a-glow

But the butler is oh soooo slow… but

Where is my Martini I ask? 

How can an olive be such a task?

As another log goes on the fire

The room fills with a festive fog… and

There, in the smoke, laughing at some drunk’s joke

Is you, Santa Baby, bearing my Martini and a bucket of ice.

No need to tell them if I’ve been naughty or nice.

They won’t have to think twice.

Once they see me with my Martini and ice.

Merry Christmas, Friends. Have a lovely holiday and buckle up for 2026!

      Gigi, as you know, the SB Spritzer morphs into Champagne on occasion. And there are so many occasions, here in Cuenca.
      You’re the best. gracias xo

    Kate,
    I think you are the one singing… even without a Martini and Ice…..
    You have set the lights a-glow and filled our hearts with enchantment.

      SQ, You, who in fact, do sing, are too kind. I wrote this originally in December of 2006. It still holds, with one caveat – I’ve turned in my Martini for a Sauvignon Blanc Spritzer! Blowing kisses your way. xo
