Hi Andrea, This is a good one for the contest theme. She got coal for being grumpy? Poor Nana, maybe next year will be better. I wish you the best of luck in the contest. Enjoy the rest of your evening my friend:-) Alexis

Have you heard that old custom of Santa leaving coal for the bad kids? I forgot where it came from.

Lumpy, ha, ha! Nothing better to fill a stocking than a lump of coal, eh?!... But at least not Clarence Rutherford, Jr. (aka 'Lumpy' on 'Leave it to Beaver). LOL. Good luck, Andrea! Cheers, Gershon
