No snow to speak of yet. No beach very close, either. I do have a good sized river just down the street and it's full of rocks. I don't think anyone would mind if I picked up a small one. As long as they don't know I'm sending it out of the country, it should be OK.
Be good,

Dear Mr. Cap,
So good to hear you have such wonderful taste in the chocolate department. Yes, I do support Fair Trade whenever possible (the elves wouldn't have it any other way, even if I didn't). The pile of swag is coming along nicely, and nothing Megan L. says will convince me that coal should be included. Santa sees all, after all.

I hope it will make it to Oz in time for the Big Day!

Dear Severn, I apologize for not posting here sooner. As you know, this is a veeeery busy time of year, and I have had to make a few out of town trips.

Anyhow, I would like to know which Four Marx Brothers movies you are particularly lacking. As is turns out, I happen to have a fondness for the old boys too, especially Harpo, but that's another story. Also, have you read any of Groucho's books?

Do let me know. :-)

Sounds like my Secret Santa is the Mother of All Snakes. Do they have snakes at the North Pole? Do they swallow elves whole? Or reindeers even?

Or am I supposed to hang up a python instead of a stocking?

Oh joy! I do have a Santa after all. I stopped girdling the earth quite a few weeks ago, so you can find me at my usual address. Mind you, I'm planning to girdle it again next year on a big scale. I wonder if I will then be closer to where you are? Hints please, dear Santa.

I do hope you are only joking about the coal. I haven't been all THAT bad :(

Dear Sandy,

The sands of time were running out and who am I to go against the grains, but I was getting anxious about finally hearing from and about you. More words and hints from you that I can turn around and distort would be apprieciated, as there are not that many writing and taunting days before Christmas.

I have all with the three brothers as DVDs but have all of the movies with the four brothers as VHS and am looking to upgrade some of the the high water Marx of their careers.

I definately believe in Sandy Claws, because I own a cat and maintain a cat box. However, the Marx Brothers always maintained there is no sanity clause.

Thanks for your emergence before I had to take emergency measures, give or take an inch. No posse needed now to search you out..

The overworked elves have been very busy and have just completed construction of your glorious gifts for the festive season. They are all wrapped and are to be packaged in a crate (OK so I may be over exaggerating here) and sent by reindeer mail to you soon after dawn on the morrow. I know that your other half has already received his, dont feel left out, I wanted to keep temptation to a minimum. I should reach you soon!

Better than referring to you as "in-continent", I guess....

Thank you, SS, for my early gift! (And the permission to open it immediately.) Listened to it for many miles on Saturday.

Sorry I didn't have a chance to let you know it had arrived until just now. The morning after it's arrival, our internet connection was temporarily out (came back on just as I had to leave for work), then work intervened, and then there was the wild weeeekend (well, Saturday night and Sunday morning) in South Portland.

It's just what I wanted, by the way!!!

So, my elven spies were right! I am so glad that you liked the early taster.

The main course may be a little late - it's a question of getting the elves in the right place for delivery and that may not be possible for Christmas. Fear not though, you will be Santa'd before the coming of Twelth Night,and hopefuly, it will be worth the wait.

Well, I have been out and about, collecting a wee bit here and a wee bit there. [The cat thinks I should include the cat next door, but the neighbors may object. Besides, I reminded her that you said you didn't want another cat.] I need to check with Mrs. Claus, to see if the pressie is adequate for one of your undoubted magnificence - the problem being that I may have to start over if she really likes it! Anyway, plenty of time yet. The mail elves are only just coming out of hibernation.

My planet may not always be Planet Ahead, but judging from your taste in movies (for which you get high Marx), we've often been in some of the same states on our shared continent.

Of course I might have ended up with my second Canuck Santa in a row after a previously illustrious series of Brits and these common states might have been only fleetingly visited......

Dear Santa,

I am very much looking forward to your arrival this Christmas, and I would like to make sure that your brief stay is a comfortable one.

At our house there is a tradition of putting out cheese, crackers and salame (or sometimes a square of lasagne) for Santa, accompanied by a glass of red wine; we figure that by the time Santa arrives in California, he has probably had enough cookies and cocoa to last a lifetime.

Just wondering if that will be acceptable to you, or if there is something else you'd prefer we leave on the work table for your midnight snack?

Your friend,
ClaireBear

PS There shoud be plenty of late-season apples and persimmons in the orchard for the reindeer, and there's a salt lick out there for them too. Much better for them than eggnog, don't you think?
