The Glow of a Gindler's Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas,
And for the sweet things in life,
I desperately needed
Some gloves for my wife.

Of all the things hung
On our beautiful tree,
If I didn't find gloves,
What was hangin'd be me.

I checked out the volume
Of the mass marketers' places
But all I could find there
Were desperate faces.

But then I remembered
If we searched all the nations
We could find Gindler's stores
In seven locations.

From Columbus to Weimar
Straight down I-10
Or just head further north
To La Grange, with a grin,

On Seventy-One's highway,
Smithville's alive,
At the great intersection
With Highway Ninety-Five.

There's Gonzales and Hallettsvile
Down toward the southwest
If you go that direction,
You'll still get the best.

In Yoakum of course,
Mr. G has a place,
Whether shoes for your feet,
Or things for your face.

So with Christmas bells ringing,
And my knapsack still bare,
The store was still open,
With quality merchandise there.

Waitin' 'till the last minute
Was among my big boners,
But Gindler's came to the rescue,
They were called Isotoners.

One thing you can count on
When you need inventory
The selection at Gindler's
Creates our happy story.

The folks there are friendly
With a personal touch
Whether you need just a little
Or you're lookin' for much

So just head up the road
And you'll see smilin' faces
It's not just a chain
Though it's in seven places.

'Cause the treatment you get there
Yields a great Christmas feelin'
You get kind o' light-headed
And your heart starts a-reelin'

So Gindler's saved Christmas,
And now that's the reason
Why we think that he's Santa
In this holiday season.
