Saint Nicholas

He who gave help to the unfortunate,

Protector of children

Enlighten the people’s souls.

We’re eagerly awaiting your arrival,

Shower kindness into the dark hearts,

Bring the oppressed justice

And give a ray of hope to everyone.

Santa’s Wish 1

Winter has arrived,

Snow covered

The frozen and sleepy earth.

It glitters in the sunlight at daytime

And in the moonlight at nighttime.

The fire is burning silently in the fireplace,

The smell of apples, cinnamon

And chocolate overwhelms our nostrils.

A chime of bells

And children’s laughter

Are echoing the air.

Christmas knocks on the door

Bathing us in light.

There’s hustle and bustle everywhere.

People are decorating their Christmas trees

While carolers are spreading cheer.

Warm-hearten souls we become.

The year passed with its ups and downs,

But we managed to get here fit as a fiddle.

Although he did his best

Santa tried and managed

To bring you a present.

Despite it being small and insignificant

Santa hopes that you’ll cherish it

And that it will bring a smile on your face.

He wishes you a „Merry Christmas!”

A sack full of everything you desire

And all your wishes to come true.

The Virtues

In an enchanted realm

The workers came

To put up something grand.

Hard-working as they were

They quickly got to work.

Responsibility took hold of the arrangements,

Faith increased their stamina,

Perseverance guided them forward

Self-discipline kept the beasts away.

Generosity offered them everything,

From words of encouragement

To nourishment, clothes, shelter

And equipment.

Honesty praised them,

But also scolded them.

The minute everything

Was finished,

They throw

A huge party.

The yard was crowded,

Iris was at the door

Welcoming the guests.

Courage in armour

Arrived first,

Accompanied by the winged love

Who was covered with flowers.

Respect being a gentleman

Let the others in first.

Countess Compassion gave him

A gentle kiss on the cheek as a way

Of thanking him.

Lady Modesty

Politely refused

The baron’s emerald.

General Justice

And Discretion, the warrior woman

Were keeping everything under control.

Moderation and abstinence seeing

How late it was,

Announced the guests

That the party was over.
