Ah, the pre-Christmas season is something to behold. Santa and his imitators are everywhere you look. No elves though. They are busy in the workshop adding the final touches of paint and glue. Me, well, I’m gearing up. I just finished wrapping up parcels to send away. This is my last year for parcels. Next year I am scaling back to cards because I am hoping that by then Christmas will find me swinging in a hammock in a locale which would make Santa sweat like Mrs. Claus going through the change. In the meantime, Christmas has taken over the house.
The first of the Christmas baking is done and eaten. These were for the kids of some colleagues although I hear that some of them never made it home to the kids but were devoured in the car.
They look a little demented, don’t you think? They don’t look half as demented as this Value Village Santa. Check it out: (the video is a little quirky and seems to work better the second time it’s played)
I think that they must have used an old mechanical Elvis frame for this fellow. Jolly old Saint Nick indeed.

wow wished I was a lover of baking …love the little Penguins ..mmmm
You not a fan of baking? What do call it then, assembling? because I distinctly recall some spider cookies and Aero bar squares going from your baking pan right to my hips. Thanks for the compliments; y’er swelling me head!! I do love retirement and highly recommend it. Big downside is that you have way more time to shop which means spending a lot more. My only complaint right now is that when I get up in the morning (at whatever time I choose) I can’t decided which project to work on. I’ll never be bored.
