The Christmas Story – A Delivery Reindeers View

T’was the night before Christmas, and all through the warehouse,

Not one elf could rest, not even for their spouse.

They were all picking and packing and wrapping with care,

In hopes that the delivery reindeer would soon be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

While worker elves loaded up reindeer sleds.

And Santa in his high-vis jacket, and reindeer with their vans,

Got ready to deliver presents across the land.

The lorries were loaded with presents with care,

As Santa passed out their routes with a flair.

Each reindeer would deliver from dawn until dark,

To meet their quota, and leave time to park!

The days they were long, and the nights even longer,

Yet even at midnight not one did falter.

Working so hard all through the night,

To fill up the morn with Christmas delight.

So on the reindeer climbed up into their vans,

Revving up the engines and warming up their hands.

With their names on the sides they whizzed on by,

While supervisor Santa urged them on with a cry.

‘Now Dasher, Now Dancer, Now Prancer and Vixen!

On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen!

On to the porch and up to the door,

To deliver the presents to girls and boys all!

This time of year is never easy for lorry drivers, who spend days and nights at a time away from their families to make sure your presents arrive in time for Christmas Day. So as you’re enjoying your mulled wine and minced pies, think of supervisor Santa and his delivery reindeer as they keep working into the night. If you want to help them, why not find out about becoming a delivery reindeer yourself, in time for next Christmas?

From all the team at Easy HGV, we want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
