Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

Correction - Santa Claus came to town.

Last night I arrived home from church (no joke) and began my Christmas decorating. I took it to a new level this year in that I didn't actually start any Christmas decorating until it was 12:30am on the 25th. I put my tree up and trimmed it with lights from Dad's and the ornaments of my youth that Mom had sent. After the decorating was done I was about to pack it in when out on the step there arose such a clatter that I went to the door to see what was the matter. I'm still getting used to life in Devon, and we did get broken into last year, so I was leary. Happily through the wreath in the doorway I could see a large red-cloaked shape. I opened the door to see a clean shaven Santa Claus that looked just like my Dad. He brought gifts for the boys of Henry st. and even convinced Jesse to take a seat on his lap. He also had a beer and told me to relay the message that he is allowed to drink on Christmas eve and he particularly likes Bailey's on ice. He wanted to make sure that you knew that he doesn't drive the sleigh; the reindeer are completely in control and he is just a passenger. So next year Bailey's and rum balls for Santa everyone.

Merry Christmas from the EmbassyPace out.
