Dog Eat Doug by Brian Anderson for December 23, 2010

You two ought to see The Santa Clause

But not all houses have chimneys, so how will Santa enter?

Little Sister,, haven’t you seen The Santa Clause?

He doesn’t come down the chimney, he has a master key to all door locks

I have 1 ornament that is a HEAVY key. It’s a magical key that only Santa can use to unlock the door. It gets hung on the doorknob for Santa on Christmas eve. This was an excellent way for the kids to know that Santa wouldn’t pass us by when we didn’t have a chimney. The one Christmas we did have a chimney we still hung it so if Santa has any BIG toys to deliver he wouldn’t have to squeeze it down the chimney.

Monkeyhead that is a great Christmas tradition. Good for you.

Like Sophie I tend to stress out over worst case scenarios rather than waiting to see if worry is in order or not.

Oh Sophie, you are too much! LOL! This is SOO cute and funny!

Monkeyhead excellent! Tell me, have any of your children carried on the tradition? I am assuming they are grown up now.

@RCMinor: All Sophie wants for Christmas is a copy editor.

Careful Sophie, you’re acting so nervous, people will think you’re a chihuahua!

Hurry you two, line the chimney with cooking oil!

My dog said to tell Sophie that it is rapelling-repelling would really ruin Christmas for them!!
