My mother had to make those cookies with a Hershey kiss in the center. My brother would routinely make the Hershey kiss disappear.
OT: hoping to have the van replaced this weekend. In the meantime, my new favorite app on my phone is Uber … who will take me to my followup appointment with the “we fix guys who hit their head hard enough to tell paramedics they’re late for the Red Sox team bus during the MLB offseason” doctor in the morning.
Hmmm… Four Cats in the House, two Kids, one Man (it’d ‘never’ be the Woman). Leaving out the Robber Mice, who could have done it? Elvis is too indignant here to have done it but is Lupin using the old ‘I called the police in so it can’t have been me’ routine?
In Britain is is customary to leave out a couple of mince pies and glass of sherry for Father Christmas. That he can continue his duties after reaching Land’s End shows that he has some unusual supernatural abilities.
They do take their trolls, demons, etc. seriously. When planning roads, buildings, etc., they make sure they don’t disturb places where the hidden folk are known to dwell.
For a tourist brochure, President Vigdís Finnbogadóttir (who claimed descent from an Irish Princess) wrote a little piece that began, “Everyone knows that the Elves live in the stones…”
This is probably the most interesting, honest, and worthwhile thing any politician has ever written.
My dear Elvis, has it entered your head that your people might’ve hidden the cookies because they DON’T appreciate your little special tradition and DON’T want the beards licked off?
OT: a little Christmas cheer. Have you seen this video of a parrot from the MSN site? She’s in a holly jolly mood. If you watch it, be sure to watch ‘til the end (it’s short, but I watched it 3 times already):
Last night it was very cold, again. Since I wasn’t sure MrrrCavity was using the palatial shelter I made for him, I took a foot-heating pad from the basement and set it up on the front porch with an old towel over it. This morning, when I came downstairs, he was sprawled out on it, blissfully asleep. Very heartwarming. I’m becoming very fond of “Little Squeak,” as I’ve started to call him. (Very high pitched meow.)
We once had an orange and white boy named Bootsie, who got on the table and ate half the filling out of a pumpkin pie! If it made him sick we never saw it (he preferred his private matters out of doors), and he lived many years after that!
Ok, someone check Alice, Agnes, Violet, and Natasha. They are the usual suspects. Although the vile raccoons have been introduced, better keep an eye on them.

Have the robber mice moved on from pies to cookies? Maybe Goldie can solve this mystery.

Where are those robber mice? After the Thanksgiving pie, and now Christmas cookies, they’ll be too fat to get through their holes.

Yes, Elvis, beards are important. Though I’m sure I’m not thinking of the same kind of beards that you are.

Elvis can lick the beards off my mussels anytime. I will happily share the finished dish.

I’m sure glad Go Comics is back. I didn’t know what to do with myself at 10:30pm.

Hmmm… could it be that the cookies are hidden to protect the beards and prevent them from being licked off?
Naw. That can’t be it.

This is a great example of different traditions. The Robber Mice steal their Christmas, and Elvis licks the cookies.

Think of the old Superfriends cartoon from times ago, on Saturday mornings! Now – in my best Ted Knight voice, I say:

Where Are You Christmas?
Where are you, cookies?
With beards like Santa,
How can I lick them off
If they’re gone?
…….
I saw Natasha,
Did the mice take them?
Does that mean
They’re all gone now?
…….
Where are you Santa?
Do you remember,
The cookies that almost
Resembled you?
I was the pirate, and ballerina
Now I must be dignified, too!
…….
Christmas is here,
Cookies are there
If we all care, oh
If there is love in your heart and your tummy
You don’t need cookies all the time!
…….
I feel you Christmas,
With all the Orb Friends
You never fade away,
We don’t need cookies,
It’s nice to have them
But we still fill our hearts with love!
…….
Where are you cookies?
Don’t know, but still feel the love!
