Santa walks out to inspect his sleigh;
gives out a bellow and gasp of dismay. Who was in charge of maintenence here? This hasn't been serviced in nearly a year ! The seats are all dusty with last year's debris. The runners are rusty...now that just can't be. The paint needs a touch-up; must look shiny and new. Who's been neglectful ? Better not have been you ! The elves are in panic, cuz' this is a shame. There's going to be trouble, no matter the blame. All the toys are constructed, built strong and fine; they're already bagged to be loaded on time. The reindeer are rested, and rarin' to go. The holiday will be here in a mere day or so. A check of the duty list explains who was rotten. The assignment of sleigh care was left off, forgotten ! The repairs on the sled are made with great speed. You can accomplish a lot when there is a need. The elves worked together to get the job done.... The sleigh now looks wonderful; ready to run. When you see Santa this year on his rounds... You'll notice his red face to be quite profound ! It is embarrassment that makes him so red. The duty roster assignment was a function he led ! 2006 Marcia

and every person that crosses our path takes up the brush and makes their mark upon our surface. So it is that we develop. But we must realize there comes a day that we must take up the brush and finish the work.

Hi BC,
Cosidering my white beard, which I've been cultivating to this size since August, I'm frequently mistaken for the big fella himself. Odd - my weight isn't even close to what's needed to get stuck in the chimney! Merlin ······· ······· |

Well, Marcia (and Merlin too)
your creation reminds me of this possible scenario: If my beard were longer, right now I might be mistaken for Santa... so I'd better do the things I'm supposed to accomplish at work 'cause if I don't catch up, I'll be red-faced too! sLightly__________  ~ Daniel
