The Truth about Santa
So I bet you've always wonderedThe REAL story behind the tale…
Without the magic or the make believe
It’s just not as much fun to tell.
We’re not talking about some bunny,
or a fairy who takes your tooth
We’re talking about the Santa myth
All exaggerated to hide the truth.
Yes, this guy is real
but he lives under a different name
Working hard and giving lots-
The stories are almost the same
Santa doesn’t live in the North
Infact, he lives really close by.
With Mrs. Claus- they’re always watching
And trust me, his ride can fly!
But he cannot be ‘Santa’ alone
He gets help from the Mrs. you see…
Giving gifts more than one time a year,
To their friends, their family and me!
Always watching and always loving
They have been Santa Jim and his Mrs
Giving freely without conditions
Except for hugs, conversations and kisses.
Thank you Jim & Donna
For always giving of yourselves
Not just at Christmas but everyday
Love,
Your happy 6 small elves.

I'm a trouble maker... but still cute!
Hey Mom~ so I did something REALLY bad, but to make up for it, I've decided to do something REALLY cute!
I colored myself with black permanent marker... oops! Well, that's what you get for leaving them within my reach! haha! But to make up for it, I put my sunglasses on Missy and stood long enough with a smile so you could take a picture. :oD
