One night before Christmas somewhere out in space;
Three Luv-Beams® were traveling to Earth at fast pace.
Their spaceship had drifted and then gone astray;
And now they were stranded; their home far away,

They sat by the window looking out at the night;
Surrounded by darkness and stars shining bright.
All of a sudden, far off to the right,
They spotted a movement — a sparkle, a light!

“What was it?” they wondered as it came really close.
“A spaceship? A comet? Could it be one of those?”
Behold! It was Santa all dressed in full gear;
With two of his two elves and four of his deer!

He was traveling his route in the dark of the night,
But he lost his direction, should he go left or right?
One elf turned his head when he saw the bright light;
He pointed and stuttered while Santa sat tight.

“Don’t worry,” said Santa, looking up at the sight,
“We’ll show them we’re friendly with a welcome that’s right.”
Earth was seen at a distance, so majestic and clear;
The tiny young Luv-Beams® did not shed one tear.

They followed the sleigh traveling slowly through space;
Old jolly St. Nick had a smile on his face.
As they headed to ground on a night filled with dew,
They saw Santa and friends standing there in full view.

A small door slid open; they beamed to the ground.
The tiniest being just spun round and round.
St. Nick gave a chuckle; the elves gave a cheer.
The Luv-Beams® were smiling — there was nothing to fear.

They walked down the path with the moon all a-glow;
And left their sweet footprints right there in the snow.
