I'm cleaning the chimney, gonna set out milk and cookies for him...hoping that a bribe may get me that Red Ryder BB Rifle...)

You're so cute! I love the way you get into the spirit of things around here. I hope Santa is extra-specially good to you this year. :-)

Thanks, Mama_Bear...I think that Santa is one of the original compassionate conservatives, and is, as Dubya described himself, with tears in his eyes a few days after 9/11, "...a loving guy."

He knows better than me what I really need, so my bribe might not bring that BB gun, but whatever he leaves, I'll surely be grateful for.

Hope you're having a good day, taking care of what need doin', but also finding time to rest and enjoy the view.
