Santa is keeping up with Jones'es it seems...

Santa’s new Sleigh… Thirty feet it is from bumper to bumper, Curtains of cloth, walls of glass, with windows, No need for reindeer, he bought himself a Ford, No longer does Santa need to from the sleigh be a jumper… His bag of toys in back on a trailer, He also no longer has to wear clothes made by a tailor, For in his new sleigh is a heater so strong, The wings of his sleigh do retract when on land he does drive along… Mrs. Claus can come along too, This to Santa is something quite new, Company he can keep with his wife of centuries quite a few, She can also get to see all the wonderful places and views… So if you did wonder last evening why you did not see his sleigh, Santa is just going high tech to keep up with the world’s way, You see, old Santa is not so old in his mind; he surely does not want to decay… © ed ~ 12/25/04

But we must keep the sleigh. Traditions with meanings are too often lost. Mrs. Claus stays home to have hot chocolate and a hot meal ready when Mr. Claus returns. She makes sure the elves have the reindeer stalls cleaned and ready and warm for those flying wonders. We all have our part to play during this time of year--may God bless everyone! Love, b

Nada, you you Villain you hehe, or ho ho ho and away we go...in the trailer sweet, with the cops on the beat, you'll be toasted like good ole rack of lamb.

Just kidding, hope your day was fun filled and peaceful.
Ours was rather hectic, but the Chickens went down at greased lightening speed, as did the pavalova.

Very cute, Ed! I guess I won't be needing to leave out the milk and cookies anymore since Mrs. Clause can cook up supper as they go along. Probably nice to have the bathroom onboard, too. 24 hours of milk, cookies and jumping down chimneys has gotta take it's toll on Santa's old bod.
Take care,
Sherry
