It's Beginning to Look A Little Like.....

Christmas.

We even had cold enough temperatures

for snow flurries...if 

there was enough moisture in the

air.  

Alas, it is a dry cold.

Darling Granddaughter decided the other night,

that candy canes ought not

to be 

hung on the Little Christmas Tree.

She took each Peppermint Candy

off

and held them all in a bouquet in

her 

bitty 

Almost Three Year Old Hand.

'Twas adorable.

The Little Tree, 

now right side up and sparkling with the playful ornaments from My Kids'

childhood collections.

Father Christmas, Pere Noel, Baba Chaghaloo, Saint Nicholas, St. Nick, Weihnactsmann,
Babbo Natale, Santa Claus

Santa is a bit like a sorcerer, don't you think?

I mean, he would have to be

of some magical essence

in 

order to

shower the children of the world

with 

toys of their wishes~all in one enchanted night.

But, I do have a question....

How is it, that with "the list"--you know the one--

Little Johnny Next Door, who was rather naughty

this year, received the new bike he wanted 

and

Little Katie, who was rather sweet this year, didn't receive

what

she asked for,

but found a box of marbles instead?

'tis somewhat like

certain

big banks...

Just something to ponder.....
