Waiting for Santayard

Reader Beware- There are Santa Clause's secrets unveiled. Must be mature and receive parents approval if under the age of 10.

Ever since Friday I have been counting down the days till Christmas. Friday is the day Santa dropped his present off in our backyard. Thanks to his Jimbo Elves and help from many other elves. However Mrs. Clause insisted that the kids wait till Christmas to see this present. So one whole week of no backyard or even looking into the backyard.

I did my best, by putting a tarp over a side of it, which only drew more attention to the big blue floating tarp. I then put paper all over the windows that look out into the backyard. And the third step was making sure the backdoor was locked at all times.

There have been several close calls butI finally see light at the end of the tunnel, Christmas is tomorrow!!! Hallelujah.


This year for Christmas we are getting our backyard back.
