Santa visits!

There were a number of reports of a prowler in the area over the weekend, as apparently many area residents heard some strange sounds on Christmas Eve.  Residents began noticing the sounds as soon as their children were fast asleep, all snug in their beds!

Upon further investigation it was found that in almost every case, the reported prowler DID NOT take things, and reportedly left each home in a relativley neat order, while leaving behind all kinds of brightly wrapped packages and stockings all filled with a number of goodies.

The reported prowler is believed to have been a jolly old elf in a red suit with a white beard in a sleigh pulled by what appeared to be a number of tiny animals who occasionally made quite a racket when they landed on area rooftops.

Even though no snow fell in our area over the weekend, it seems that Santa somehow made it anyway!

Let’s all remember the REAL REASON FOR THE SEASON!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, with BEST WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR from ALL of US at KMEM!
