TOMH&R have been very busy for the past week or so writing up their Christmas wish lists so they'd be all ready when it came time to go see Santa at the mall. Finally after reviewing them a few times, checking to make sure everyone was set to go, they all trekked off to see Santa.
They lined up and waited their turn with so much excitement and nervousness. It's not every day you get to see someone like Santa!
One by one they got on Santa's lap and whispered in his ear what they wished for Christmas. The only ones that didn't whisper were Lola (she wants sparkly bling of course) and Ed & Ted (they want leather suits for Fight Club). They got individual pictures of each of them sitting on Santa's lap with a big smile (remember - they think the more teeth you show, the better the smile, always ends up looking more like a toothy grimace than a smile). Then they all piled up on Santa for a group photo before leaving.
The chatter all the way home was about Christmas excitement and how great it was to see Santa, everyone very much hoping they get what they asked for. Along the way they decided it was time to get a Christmas tree. Obviously they couldn't get a whole tree, they're much to small for that, so they settled on a large branch. After a lot of heave-hoing they hoisted it onto Raoul's skateboard and pushed it home. They found a nice place to put it and strung up some cranberries and popcorn to decorate it. They kept having to string up more, a lot more than it should have taken for one little branch .... someone kept eating it, we don't know exactly who it was. They tried putting icicles on but they kept melting so that idea had to be scrapped. They strung up lots of lights and were a bit disappointed that they weren't the blinking kind, so instead they all sat there and blinked their eyes to simulate the effect. When they were all finished I made them some pasketti for dinner. Everyone ate and burped and went to sleep, dreaming about Christmas.
