Mood: Quite Jolly!
Listening to: The Elves watching Looney Tunes - they're on a Hot Cocoa Break!

Hello Everyone,

'Ol Santa is in good spirits this morning.  Our budget getting an extra boost was an early Christmas gift to him.  Now, I can go do that shopping, I've been needing to do for the trademark gifts.  So, shopping and visiting the malls is on my agenda today.

It's raining this morning.  This weather really confounds me.  It's blistering cold one morning and 40 degrees and raining the next.  We've needed the rain though to melt the top covers of snow.  It's been over a month since we've had rain, and the snow has just been getting deeper and deeper.  It was getting very hard to walk through.  Good timing too, as the Weather Elf has been calling for snow next week.

You're not going to believe this!  Our kittens and puppies that were due yesterday ... there must have been a goof up somewhere along the line.  When the SDPS man arrived he handed us carriers full of baby guinea pigs!  Oh, they're so adorable!!  They're so furry and they run around in circles making their little wink wink sounds!  Ho-Ho-Ho!  'Ol Santa is having fun playing with all the guinea pigs.  We have to feed them pellets, hay and baby carrots.  I had a ball last night.  With my pet guinea pigs being full grown, I had forgotten how small they are when they are babies.  Ho-Ho-Ho!

But usually we don't get the small animals until the last week.  I don't know what happened to the shipment of puppies and kittens.  Dataelf is looking into that today.

'Ol Santa caught Mrs. Claus in the Animal Gift Room today in there holding and playing with the baby guinea pigs.  That was so sweet.  She was snuggling them.  She didn't know I saw her.  That gives 'Ol Santa an idea for Mrs. Claus' Christmas present this year. 

'Ol Santa caught a good Christmas movie last night.  I like to pass them on to you, in case you're looking for a good to one to watch.  It was the Elf movie.  It was really sweet and heartwarming.  The Elves here teased 'Ol Santa in that it's been out for a few years now, and I've missed it.  They've been watching it all along.  It's one of their favorites.  Hmm ... wonder why?  Ho-Ho-Ho!Sometimes it's hard for 'Ol Santa to keep up with the latest happening things!

'Ol Santa has a riddle for you.  See if you can figure it out, and I'll post the answer tomorrow.

You can't see me.
You can't hear me.
But you know that I'm there.
Watch your fingers, toes and nose ...
as they are tasty to me.

Who am I?

Send in your answers in the comments.  Let 'Ol Santa see how smart you are!

Okay, let 'Ol Santa tend to his list a bit this morning, before he heads out to town.  Keep watch for me ... you never know which mall I'm liable to visit!  Hope to see you there!!

Happiest of Holidays!
Santa Claus
