"SANTA! SANTA'S COMING! I KNOW HIM!!!!!"


In which this has nothing to do with what I am about to post:
If you are ever in Vegas around Christmas time, you need to go check out The Cactus Gardens at the Ethel M. Chocolate Factory.
1. It's a chocolate factory, 'nuff said.
2. It's cool and when you're done meandering, head into the Chocolate Store and try free samples.....FREE SAMPLES, oh and get some hot chocolate too.
It's was one of my favorite Christmas traditions when we lived there.

OK on to the post............
3 a.m. people; that's what time my darling children came in screaming that Santa had been here, exactly 2 hours after Santa got done wrapping and putting out all the gifts. We set the alarm and said: "DO NOT come and get us until this alarm goes off. I don't care what time you get up at, DO NOT come in and wake us up until you hear the alarm!" It obviously wasn't threatening enough. Next year I may throw in some severed limbs with the threat.
Here are a few pictures:

I would have gotten someone better, but that's what they wanted; thanks Nanna and Poppa

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, Chanukkah, Kwanzaa, or what ever you may happen to celebrate. Stay safe and have a wonderful New Year!
