__________________________________________________________________________-

Rudolph always loved it when Christmas came because he got to lead dear Santa’s sleigh. His rosy nose had brought him lots of fame because in fog, Rudolph’s nose shone the way. A week before dear Santa’s yearly trip, the reindeer all were sliding down a hill. Too eagerly, dear Rudolph let it rip and broke his front leg when he took a spill. But Santa was prepared for such a thing. A fog light he had purchased weeks ago, so Christmas Eve, with a ring-a-ling-a-ling, the reindeer flew with ease through fog and snow.

Ahh!! Fast thinking and preparedness are some of Santa's traits. There must be a contest going on because I have seen several of these. This one reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Sara K

Modern Santa, prepared for all the failing events. But no one can replace the glowing red nose. Merry Christmas.
