Santa Was Here

Magic dust marks the spot.

Every year Santa makes his way down the chimney to leave gifts and fill our stockings.

He never fails to leave evidence of his arrival. Magic dust on the logs in the fireplace was all I could get photos of this year. Troi had already vacuumed up the remnants on the carpet.

Some years he will eat all the cookies and drink all the milk. Other years Rudolf will oblidge.

This year was the magic dust all over the place. It was in one long trail from the fire place to the tree.

Troi has a theory about the various gifts Santa leaves at the homes he visits on behalf of Troi and now Kai. At Nana's house, Santa will leave snow, magic walnuts that once cracked open reveal a surprise which is usually coins or money. (And they say money doesn't grow on trees!) Along with the magic walnuts, Santa leaves gifts that are fit for a mountain prince. New boots, new snow bib, things definitely out doorsy and made for the rugid terrain that surrounds Nana and Grumpa's house.

At Papa and Grandma's, he leaves clothes, games, books and other "fun and games" things that Troi just loves. Then he has Granny's house. Where Granny always gets Troi the "sensible" needed gifts like shoes, clothes and the occasional PS2 game that Troi must have been hinting about for the 20K time!

Santa leaves us goodies every year in our stockings at Nana's house. I think he knows that we will be waiting for the goodies there since we don't have gifts in ours here at the house very often.

Thank you Santa for NEVER letting us down!
