Visit from the North, the North Pole, that is.

Mitchell, Owen, Lucy and I were over at Grandma B's house tending to Cricket while she was picking up Aunt Ruthie.  Out of nowhere, it seemed, came Santa Claus, right up to the door!  Apparently he was doing some last minute verification of list items.  He also had some stories about when Mom was a little girl!  We sat in awe as he shared with us, then they sat on his lap and shared their wishes with him.  When we drove home they searched the sky for traces of The Man and his reindeer.
