Our song for the first thing Christmas morning: a family tradition

Christmastime is drawing near

Santa Claus will soon be here

With his presents and his toys

For the little girls and boys

For dear old Santa we'll give a cheer

He'll soon be coming with his swift reindeer

He comes to quick with a click click click

On the early Christmas morning

Have you sent him by the post

Telling what you want the most

If you have you need not fear

For he loves you all most dear

For dear old Santa we'll give a cheer

He'll soon be coming with his swift reindeer

He comes to quick with a click click click

On the early Christmas morning

Merry Christmas to All!

[this is good] My husband's family sings this song too! His Hungarian Grandmother started singing it in the 1960s. Do you know the name of the song, or its origin?

Shelley, it came down to us through my Mother's family.  They, long ago, came over on the Mayflower (unlike my Dad!)  That is all I know, a tradition in her family.  They sang it as small children in North Dakota in the early 1900's.  Northern Baptists, I believe.  No, I don't know its actual name or origin, and was not able to find it on the web.
