'tis The Season

What about SinterKlaas's (aka Saint Nicolas) sidekick? Is he not the guy with the stick thats beats up the "bad" Kids. I am nearly sure they call him "Ruprecht" in Germany, only there he arrives on the sixth (i suppose you have to allow for traveling time by horse).

BTW, have Foster and Allen released their Christmas CD yet? Can't be chrstmas without it. (this may not mean anything to anyone outside of the UK)

Personally I am a little more afraid of the "helpers" in olive drab just behind them.

Especially that one with the "sandwich."

Ron, Just to let you know saw the clapper commercial last night so I guess its official. The fat red dude is on his way.

I got to stop writing these kind of things. They always spark someone's imagination. Especially my wise guy brother.
He lives in California which is a long way away. Sometimes that is a good thing because he does love his practical jokes. Most of them are directed at me ;o(
I just got a package delivered by UPS . It was from my brother .
Open Immediately was written all over the box. I should have known better but I did as instructed.
Naturally the box was quite large with a gob of those Styrofoam peanuts in it. Fished around for a long time before I found some smaller boxes inside.
When I opened them , you guessed it he sent me
1. A Chia pet
2. A Clapper
3. A salad shooter
4. A CD with Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer on it.
So I guess the Christmas Season has now officially started here. Now all I have to do is put his Christmas card into that box, stuff all those peanuts back in and send it back to him. It will cost a bit more than regular mail but then I guess he is worth it. He doesn't get much snow where he lives and all those peanuts in his living room will remind him just what it looks like ;o)
