Uncle Sam's Christmas Airship Night Tale
An early 1940s verse by Robertus Love imagines Uncle Sam as Santa delivering worldwide gifts from forty seven states to Puerto Rico and the Philippines. He roams oceans, loads Hawaii with trinkets, and jokes about ballast for Panama as he completes the globe trotting Christmas mission.
What Christmas Means to Me by an Old Bachelor

He recalls not receiving presents for about fifteen years yet stays upbeat and finds joy in helping orphans and poor children. He spent nine dollars last Christmas to bless about forty kids and plans to spend ten more this year.
