Santa’s Finest Moment

imageOne year when my son was in high school he was especially full of himself. I snagged him to help decorate. Making no complaints, he offered to do the mantel, using the traditional garland, candles, sleigh and elves, paying careful attention to his Grandma’s hand-made Santa, the special centerpiece she always looked for. His enthusiasm was refreshing. The extended family had gathered, and of, was admiring Grandma’s lovely Santa gracing the mantel yet another year. That’s when it became apparent he’d made especially, good use of a giant red and white striped candy cane, enhancing Santa’s holiday charm. I hope he has five boys just like himself!

  2. This actually did even more for me than getting a giggle, as I have an incident in my past ~ involving, exactly, merrily and obscenely rearranged dollies (um, there were two of them 🤭). From the reaction afterward to this harmlessly intended prank I really questioned myself as to whether or not it was a normal youthful act.

    One gift that your blog gives those of us raised in more rarefied situations is a useful cross hair on human normalcy. Thanks, and I mean that.
