Thank you very much, Santa. I'd be delighted to receive a wobbly, Rudolf-wrapped little gift. He and the other reindeer will enjoy some of our homegrown apples and carrots.

I am as yet undecided whether you and the delightful Mary Christmas would prefer applejack with some apple pie and sharp cheddar or hot chocolate with shortbread for your snack. A ham sandwich on homemade bread? A glass of Sheepscot ale? Hmmm. I must have a chat with wee robin.

Trying hard to be good...friends here say I'm quite trying.

maeve,
