Giving ‘Blitzen’ a whole new meaning
A little misunderstanding doesn’t always hurt…
Christmas Eve.
Time to ring my parents, across the miles of ocean, wishing them the happiest of holidays.
Time to beat the Christmas Day rush on the telephone lines.
Time to let the Kiddies gush their pre-Christmas-morning excitement into the receiver.
And to what must have been an answer to the obvious question of ‘What did you leave out for Santa?’ Kate replied with eyes all aglow, ‘Chocolate and Beer.’
I froze, knowing that the alcohol part of that equation would unnerve my mother.
‘Don’t worry,’ said Kate later with a smile, ‘she thought I said Chocolate Reindeer.’
And I will never complain about telephone line static again…
Merry Christmas to you and yours. I hope Santa enjoys his (or hers) “chocolate reindeer”.

That makes me wonder if Cat Bordhi’s new Christmas stocking would hold a beer for Santa? Merry Christmas to you!

Happy new year, with or without beer. We in holland have out “oliebollen” oilballs with raisins, a kind of beignets.
