HO! HO! HO!



What a Jolly weekend I had! I was overjoyed when Gnomad Princess Consuela Bananahammock asked if I would like to join her for a Jolly right time at Breakfast with Santa! I have heard of this most Jolly man during my young Gnome years! Would I met any of my distant cousins Elves?


Oh yes, Gnomes are related way down the wee family tree to Elves. No, not the Keebler Elves! Santa's wee little helpers that help to make the children's gifts.


It was the most festive time this Gnome has seen with these wee little eyes. All the children were soon joyful as they all waited so patiently for Old St. Nick.

We played reindeer games, ate a wonderful breakfast and even were amazed by a backyard magic show.


Then the main event... Santa Clause! It was the real Old St. Nick with all the yule tide trimmings including his shining belt buckle that had his name embossed in gold.


I am sad to report that my cousins the Elves were no where to be seen. Maybe the Elves were too busy finishing making all the kids on the "Nice" list all the goodies Santa is famous for.


The night would not be complete for any self described "Party Gnome" without partaking in an adult beverage or two. This gnome would give two thumbs wee up for Sierra Navada's Celebration Ale.


Happy Holidays to all...
