A Christmas Memory

I still laugh when I look at the chimney. It reminds me of a childhood Christmas where my face was as black as soot, as I tried to mimic Santa entering a house.

There was a little lamb, whose coat was black as soot. And everywhere the lamby went, his sooty foot he put.* (*I remember this from one of those British comedies...one of the Rons on TV) Your wonderful memory reminded me of it. Congrats on the win.

Amazing how they are almost alike in plot... I've never watched the comedy show. It sounds really captivating. Thank you for your applause, Dan! ;-)
