On Christmas Eve, Nora and Stuey were very excited about Santa's arrival. In preparation, we talked to Nora about how we should leave some food out for Santa. The "standard" Santa food usually consists of cookies and milk, but we didn't have any cookies, so Nora suggested Pistacios and oranges. And a can of LaCroix soda water! Patrick said, "What should we leave for the reindeer? How about some carrots?"
The next morning, we saw pistacio shells, orange peels and there were teeth marks in the carrots! Santa and his reindeer appreciated all the food! Nora loved seeing how the food was gone. Patrick and I appreciated how there will only be 2 years or so when the kids believe in Santa! And how fun it is. Nora takes Santa so seriously. Its precious. That is the true magic of Christmas!
Patrick's present for me was a goat and beaver fur hat...made from a goat he "harvested" (its so hard for me to write "shot") 2 years ago. Susan Malutin made it. Patrick gave her the whole goat hide and she has been using it for various projects. The fur is so very soft. It's hard to believe it's goat fur! I already have matching goat fur, boots, gloves that Susie made...so fun! Luckily we've had cold weather this winter so I have been able to wear some of it, too!
