Santa Claus
‘Twas the week before Christmas and many of our
branches
Got a visit from Santa
What are the chances?
In Florida, we won’t have any snow
Our Santa’s wear shades
And give gifts that come in A, B, AB and O
This is the gift that never fades
Giving life to patients right here in the Florida
glades
As Santa fills the bag made of plastic
He thinks wow, this is fantastic
He thinks of the lives that he saves
Keeping in mind platelets only last for a max of five
days
The holidays are a time of great need
Donations tend to dwindle at a frightening speed
Look at Santa
He’s taking the lead
Giving life to others in the short time it takes to
bleed
For those waiting on a transfusion
We want to eliminate any confusion
When it comes to blood there is no substitution
It has to come from me and you
From people willing to make this precious
contribution
As Santa sits in our branch in Winter Springs
He thinks of the joy that his present will bring
Then with a tear
He remembers a girl whom he’d met last year
She only had one request in her Santa’s letter
That her ill brother soon would be better
Ah, the great gift that is life
A present that can be given without any strife
How do you give this gift that is great?
What can you do?
How can you donate?
Come into a branch or get on a bus
Make an appointment-avoid all the fuss
Give whole blood, platelets and plasma, it’s really no
trouble
And when you give Alyx, you give red blood cells that are
double
You’re helping patients put up a good fight
And that is why Santa sits down and shouts with
delight
“Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!”
