The Flying Santa book by Joe & Paula McHugh
Our friends and fellow music lovers Joe and Paula McHugh have created an enchanting book based on a true story set in Maine. In 1929 the pilot of a float plane that delivered mail, medicine, and other essentials to remote coastal communities became lost in a fierce winter storm. With his compass malfunctioning and running desperately low on fuel, he was eventually guided home by a series of lighthouses along Pennobscott Bay. To show his gratitude, he and his ten-year-old son dropped floatable bundles full of presents to the families of the lighthouse keepers on Christmas Day.

Early Rising

I hate to get up in the morning,
Like to lie in bed and sleep.
And when the folks make me get up,
I feel like I could just weep!

I hate to get up in the morning,
That's when I sure like to rest,
'Bout the time that breakfast is ready
Is when I can sleep the best.

But it's different Christmas morning,
Then I jump out before it is light!
To see all the presents that Santa
Has left for me during the night!

On Christmas I get up so early
I beat all the rest of the folks;
Pa says every day should be Christmas --
But that is just one of his jokes!

Happy Holidays!
