Greasing the skids for the jolly fat man by laying out cookies milk and reindeer treats.

The calm before the storm.

The fat man ate the cookies and left a note.

25 December 2008, 0430 hours...

Digging through stockings.

The real fun begins.

A Christmas bomb has gone off in the living room.

20 December 2008

Santa rolls through the sub-division to see who's being good.

Just as quick as he arrived, it's back to the North Pole.

13 December 2008

You know you live in a small town on the edge of the Okefenokee Swamp when your Santa looks like this.

It's time for a holiday hootenanny.... or is it a hoedown?

Getting ready for the big Christmas party.

Angel and Kaylee looking for Christmas loot.

Chuck all dressed up in an effort to fool Santa into believing he's good.

Greeting the jolly fat man in the garage.

The formal arrival.

The lovely and gracious one posing with Santa.

Santa receiving demands from a long line of brats.

Passing out the loot.

Scarfing some sugar, powering up for the second wind.

Yours truely and the lovely and gracious Kellie.

29 November 2008

Thanksgiving is over, you know what's next...

Charlie and Angel getting ready for a month of torture. Santa's watching... ha ha ha!!!

Mom gets in on the act.

Grandma poses with the brats... enjoy it, it's likely as close as they'll ever get to behaving in front of a camera. At least the lovely and gracious looks good.

Meanwhile up on the roof; that's not reindeer hooves, but the creaking joints and caterwauling of Papa Todd hanging festive Christmas lights.

After dark.
