Late last night strange noises began coming from the downstairs kitchen / pantry area. It sounded as though someone had broken in. Mindlessly erring on the side of caution, dialed 911 and crept quietly down the stairs to investigate the situation. It was only Santa.
Normally we would leave out some milk and cookies for him, but this time we forgot. Well, that is only half true. We did forget to leave out some milk, but we were actually out of cookies, because . . . . well . . . . ummmm . . . . i ate them all myself. 😞
I started feeling a bit guilty, but the moment the slightest tinge of guilt appears, a 'rationalization switch' goes off in my head. NO! This is NOT all about my own greed and glutony - two of the 'deadly sins' by the way. It is simply about the poor planning utilized while shopping. I should have simply bought more cookies. If more cookies were purchased, this problem would not exist. There would have been plenty of cookies for everybody - including Santa.
But then, is that really true, or would there have been simply more cookies for me? Well anyway, back to the story.
The police arrived, and we tried to explain to them it was all just a big mistake. Nobody broke in, and it was only Santa. And Santa himself was pleading with them, insisting that he was actually Santa and not just some fat old bearded weirdo in a red suit. Well the cops wouldn't have it that way, and Santa got arrested.
A couple hours went by before we could get Santa bailed out so he could finish his job. At that time he still had half the world to do, and precious time was running out!
So if any of your gifts arrive a little late this year, i am sorry. My bad. 😞

Hi Patricia, Merry Christmas.
Sorry for the trouble with your dinner.
I hope you have a nice Christmas anyway.

Unfortunately I had a similar experience except I shot the guy.
He should not have been dressed like the Easter Bunny and carry a gun.

It was the night before christmas about 3 AM
There was a knock on the door.... we got a warrent and we are coming in.
But it was a jolly old elf wanting to come in
His nose was red, and his clothes somewhat tattered.
I handed him a beer, and ask what was the matter.
He said you would not believe the house I was just in.
The milk was all blinky, and then there was the rotwiller
I think I was tazed but I don't remember.
He pulled out a lucky and I drew us both shots, (he preferes gin)
He turned to my wife and said naughty or nice... oh never mind.
And that was about the time the cops showed up

You should've left him in jail, I almost got a negative because of him.

Maybe we should have left him in jail. Come to think of it, as i look around here, it appears that some of my items seem to be missing. Could it be that the big bag he always lugs around was empty when he first arrived? Hmmmmmmmmmm. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm.
So my next post here might be titled: 'Who else got robbed by Santa this year?'
