An Elfin Update

PAUL has been a busy little elf, flying up to the North Pole every evening,

reporting to Santa regarding the children's behavior,

and faithfully retuning to our home every morning.

PAUL feels so at home in DEBVILLE...

Here he is on Reindeer Mountain, the tallest mountain in Debville.

See how his eyes twinkle as he watches Santa ski...

On this day, PAUL was feeling a little NUTTY.

Oh, PAUL is such a silly, silly elf.

Just this morning I caught PAUL and the CHRISTMAS MICE

playing with matches ... I scolded them and immediately felt

guilty, for the poor little things were just trying to stay warm.
It has been nippy here in Arizona...

So I fixed them all a hot chocolate with whipped cream

piled high and the smiles returned to their little faces.

They all promised tomorrow to wake me up to light

the candle.
