The Fur is Flying!
Mood: Sleepy but good!
Listening to: Angels We Have Heard on High
Hello Everyone,
Well 'Ol Santa woke with a start this morning! Nemet came rushing in to get me. One of the baby guinea pig males was attacking two others with whom it shared a cage. We couldn't find any of our extra cages we keep for such emergencies. We usually have them on the shelves in the Animal Gift Room. But the shelves were empty of cages. We had to hand hold the agressive guinea pig until Holly finally came back from our storage room with a cage. She sent some other Elves to fetch the rest of the empty shelves to bring them in just in case that emergency rose again, as it took her thirty minutes to find the cages.
You have no idea just how big that storage room is. You can actually get lost in there. Don't laugh, we really do have a map for it! We try to break it down to certain sections to keep everything organized, but as many elves that come in and out not all of them are as up on their organization skills as some of the others. Anytime any of us have to go to the storage room, we groan as we take our steps that lead to it. Sigh ...
The other guinea pigs that were being attacked are okay. Nothing a little tender love couldn't soothe. Bless their little hearts.
The kitten is now into helping 'Ol Santa tie his boot laces. I do my best to assure her that 'Ol Santa can tie them all on his own being he's been tying his boots for many a year now, but she insists on helping 'Ol Santa anyway. Believe me, it's time to trim her tiny little claws again, as 'Ol Santa got to feel them as he tried to tie his boot laces with her help. Ho-Ho-Ho!
Waking up with a start has left 'Ol Santa so sleepy! Didn't get to hit my snooze button this morning, and get that extra ten minutes of sleep. Knock on wood, thus far my alarm clock has been behaving of late.
Good news for you kids in school! 'Ol Santa is coming to town tomorrow to do the mall scenes, so you older kids, while you're out of school can tell 'Ol Santa what it is you want for Christmas. I have a few more trade items to pick up too, and I think that will be it for my shopping for this year, provided the two orders I'm waiting on come in on time!
Went to the XmasMart for groceries yesterday, and you would not believe what we've added to the grocery list since yesterday evening that we forgot! On my way home from the malls Saturday, I'll drop in back to the XmasMart and pick up those items.
Do you realize it's only 8 more days for 'Ol Santa's big Christmas Eve run? Time is flying as fast as my reindeer do!
We've got the Elf Ball tomorrow evening too. That should be fun. It will be time for a little recreation! Then 'Ol Santa promised to help the Elves in the Wrapping Department again on Sunday. So, with my busily scheduled weekend, I'm not sure if I'll be able to blog, but I will certainly try.
Have a SUPER weekend, everyone! SAFE Christmas shopping, and I hope to see YOU in the malls on Saturday!
Happiest of Holidays,
Santa Claus 
Hope you have had a great week, Rainbowslider!
