New Song: "Freddy Fennec, the Christmas Fox" (Patreon)

Inspired by the adorable Lar DeSouza pic up top. Technically, this is a pre-release -- I need more time to get the harmonies ready, and I hope to have them by the weekend.

Santa’s in charge of bringing toysTo all the good little girls and boysBut who brings underwear, slacks, and socks?Freddy Fennec, the Christmas fox.

Santa rewards every kid’s good deedWith stuff they want but don't really needBut who brought that shirt in the dull, flat box?Freddy Fennec, the Christmas fox.

Santa found him one Christmas eveHuddled on a stack of woodHe was half frozen, but he was chosenTo come home with Santa for good

Some nice warm milk and a cookie plateHelped little Freddy, he was feeling great,He wanted to repay that jolly old elf,So he claimed the least popular giftsTo deliver himself.

The kids know Santa’s claim to fame,Mad skills making toys and games,But they also need clothes and books and shoes,And if Santa brought those...All the kids would boo.

So Freddy made himself a hat and coatAnd clung to the blade of the sleigh,And when Santa stopped to deliver gifts,Freddy placed his and scampered away.

So please don't blame your mom and dad,You didn't get clothes because you were bad.You're not being punished, you're not being trolled --Little Freddy doesn't want you to get cold.

And every December twenty-fifth,Don't complain about getting a practical gift.‘Cause you're loved by whoever put it in the box --And it might've been Freddy Fennec, the Christmas fox!
