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

Oh, this is a good one, Bob. I read it to IRene, my cat. She’s in my pantry. Oh no I gave her ideas from Jeff! Pangie

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

I'm telling you, 'The help these days!' Jeff the Cat would've been fired right away back in our day, eh, Bob?! lol. Great limerick. Season's Best, Gershon

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.

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
