Santa's Snack Disappears

The kids set out a bowl of milk with chips

  For dear Old Santa with no thought of tips

    But when Santa arrived

      He was somewhat surprised

        To see Jeff the cat a-lickin' his lips

Hinshaw Date: 12/13/2022 2:05:00 PM Thanks Pangie! Jeff kept opening the doors below my kitchen sink and hiding out there - and I looked all over the place trying to find him. I finally devised a locking system to keep him outta there! Ain't cats the most beautiful of God's creatures!!!!! Bob

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 12/11/2022 8:25:00 AM No midnight snack for Santa right here, leaves the presents and goes next door which which is near, the cookies tickling his nostrils in a bowl under the tree. i remember the baby powder and footsteps my parents made, and the cotton wool left on the edge of the cup and a half eaten cookie. i did the same with my son, I had such fun - fun for a five or six year old. Happy and healthy and peaceful wishes coming your way , from across the bay, for Christmas day. Hugs, blessings, JENNIFER. Login to Reply Robert L. Hinshaw Date: 12/11/2022 4:39:00 PM Thank you so much, Jenn. It sounds like you had a wonderful childhood with very creative parents. Those little clues they left on the cup etc must have made you a believer in Olde St Nick. I hope this Christmas Season will bring great joy to you and your family - Bob
