On the Eve With Panda Claus






We are as ready for Christmas as we can be.  Panda Claus has his hat on ready to deliver to all the good little cubs and bears. He is so huggable. He does double duty as summer clause, spending the summer in the back seat of the convertible.  He likes going for slow rides with the top down.  

I will cook something special, and we'll snuggle down for a long winters nap, if there are reindeer hooves on the roof, they will be a dozen floors above us. Santa better wear a facemask in the elevator, or the neighbors will call security and complain.  

A comment I made on a blog recently brought memories of the year we went to Paris for Christmas.  The reason we went, is complicated, I was upset with my mother.  But the experience was wonderful.  The highlight was out pouting a French Maitre de, and getting seated for Christmas dinner at Altitude 95 on the Eiffel Tower for Christmas dinner, without a reservation.  He didn't say no, and I just stood there and waited until someone seated us. Memories are often the best part of the adventure, for the memories last longer than the adventure.  

Wishing all of you, a peaceful and love filled Christmas.

  3. Now that must have been some pout. It's not easy to out-pout a genuine French maitre'd.
