i was a bad Padawan this year :cry:

I might have your gifts here. After I... how can I put this gently? After I "acquired" the 9 sleigh pullers, I put the gifts in my backyard. Let me look.


Ok, I have a few. To Faye From Santa. Ummm.. do you have a coal stove? If you do you will be *very* happy about the gifts you were supposed to get.

:cry: i never got coal before. i musta been really bad :spank:

My mother was telling everyone today that when I was young she told me that if I was bad I would get coal. I was upset when I woke up one Christmas and didn't get coal..lol.

a sunny day, a hungry cat purring on my chest, a happy dog eager for a long morning walk, and a turkey roasting in the oven. Santa and I haven't needed to cross paths in years.

I hope you didn't use lead buckshot when you came up against Rudolph.

Was it "Thomas the tweaked out Turkey"? He is sort of like Rudolph, but he leads the sleigh that "Drinkin Sauce" (Santa Claus' alter ego) uses to deliver "goodies" to all the over zealous partiers of the yule time season?

As it was also undressed when we got to it, a positive identification wasn't possible.

:spank:


:rofl:


and, as always for you...

:hug:

And also to you :hug:

Hope yours was wonderful, too, darlin'!

:D

what will we tell the children?

This is what I'm talking about:
