Santa is ready to rock and roll

Martini’s and Fred the Cat’s stocking are stuffed. Mr. Pop made his annual Christmas chocolate chip cookies this morning. The sweet potatoes are cooked, mashed, seasoned and ready to hop in the oven tomorrow. Tonight we will prepare a Christmas morning strata to cook for breakfast in the morning. So I would say we are pretty much ready for the jolly old man to visit tonight.

The girls at the lab delivered all things wonderful for our adopted family Thursday morning and were surprised to receive a picture of our family with Santa Claus and the sweetest thank you note I have ever read. The kids do not expect anything from Santa this year so they are going to be very happily surprised in the morning. It’s nice to be able to put faces on our adopted family, we have never been able to do that before. It’s especially nice to see those sweet little kid’s faces. They’ll be all big smiles tomorrow.

Santa will deliver our gift to us next Tuesday. Our very old refrigerator is just on life support so we decided to buy our house a new one. Rather than give each other just a bunch of stuff, for several years now we have instead bought something we wanted for the house. This year it’s a French door frig and freezer. I hope Santa doesn’t get a hernia when he makes his delivery.

A very Merry Christmas to everyone from me, Mr. Pop, Martini and even Fred the Cat
May peace be your nicest gift.
