disclaimer: This article is a funny take and means no offence to Christmas or St. Nicholas or feminism so just enjoy.
I wonder why I wonder why I wonder.
I wonder what would it be if Santa is not a man but a woman!
I wonder! I wonder!
I asked this question to man;
What if Santa was a woman?
Man: If Santa was a woman.
Oh Boy!!
She would check if I had packed the boxes neatly and done all the festive cooking.
Request the slip and accounts of all the gifts,
check for the crumbs if any around the tree
and maybe even cut my points for a messy wrapping paper.
But then she would be way more good-looking!!
Child: If Santa was a woman, she would definitely be my mom!!
Oh my goodness!
She would give me Gold stars for taking care of my brother only to take them away for not cleaning my room.
But then who will make the cookies and cook a Christmas meal zip-zap-zoom!
Woman: If Santa was a woman then
Ho! Ho! Ho!! would be replaced by He! He! He!!
Oh, but what if she was Mrs. Kimberly, my neighbour?
She would never approve of the cookies I make for her.
Or my house not sparkly clean!
Man, Woman, Child in Chorus;
Oh..God, Oh God, Oh God…
Let Santa be a cute old man
who doesn’t care for the nitty gritties.
Would be happy with a cookie, homemade or even half-baked?
A woman Santa brings in complications
Who needs one in this world full of frustrations?
I woke up from a torrid dream of people speaking in a chorus.
No, no we don’t plan to change any tradition.
It was just a thought for experimentation
but looks like we have shaken your expectations
we wouldn’t want to bring the house down or
be the cause of a Christmas frown.
If Santa was a woman, it would be an interesting twist in the tale.
But for now, let’s go back to the Santa being a man.
“What is Santa was a woman?” is good in concept but every time we change the norms
The people seem to wail.
Changing Christmas traditions may not always be bad,
For all you know she turns out to be the best Santa you’ve ever had!!
Milan says
Nice imagination, something to ponder upon. If Santa were a woman , she would be wearing a red lipstick to match her red costume and would look so beautiful š
Prerna Sinha says
Yes, one of the perks of having a woman Santa š
Ruchi Verma says
I really loved reading this …if you ask me then Santa would be my mom and I will get gifts only when my room is cleaned properly
Prerna Sinha says
Hehe…that’s a good thing then! Atleast, your mom will get you gifts :).
Noor Anand Chawla says
Haha! It need not be a bad experience if Santa is a woman! She could also shower all the children with extra love and cook them delicious Christmas goodies! Merry Christmas š
Prerna Sinha says
I am sure she would make a great Santa.
Gurjeet Chhabra says
This is such a cute poem, I love it. Now I find the reason why a woman is not Santa. Ho ho ho.
Love every bit of it
Prerna Sinha says
Thanks Gurjeet, glad you liked it :).
Manasi says
Haha,very well written! We were born with this notion and now everytime we think of Santa and Christmas, we automatically picture a man. A must read article this was. Love it.
Prerna Sinha says
Thanks, Manasi :).
Snigdha Prusti says
Wow… Such a cute write up… I too sometimes think if Santa was a young girl or old woman, then what would it be… So funny by the way..
Prerna Sinha says
Thank you Snigdha, had been meaning to write on this one for sometime now. Glad you liked it :).
Shub says
He he what a take on Santa! Frankly speaking I will prefer Santa to be a white-bearded man ha ha. Loved the nuisances in this post.
Prerna Sinha says
I am sure you mean nuances :). Thanks Shub, looking at the reactions, I guess the post has managed to entertain people.
Noorain says
I thoroughly enjoyed this article aka poem, had me laughing and a few of the lines struck the chord as well. What a well drafted one for sure!
Prerna Sinha says
Thanks Noorain.
Deepa says
Haha! Good one Prerna. Enjoyed reading it. Every time we change the norms, people seem to wail. So true.
It’s not easy for people to accept things so easily.
Prerna Sinha says
Hehe, it’s always so ;)!
Jhilmil Bhansali says
Lovely post this is Prerna. Indeed Ho Ho Home would turn into He He He and Goode’s would be tied up more nearly.
Priyanka says
In reality women is really a Santa who never thinking for herself always busy as a mother, wife and daughter in law… Really I love the post too much …
Gunjan (Tuggu.n.mommy) says

Namrata says
I enjoyed reading each bit of your thoughts. How I wish Santa was a woman. Change is for sure not bad.
