With his round little belly like a bowl of jelea, he struggled to squeeze down our old chiminea. Then huffing and puffing at last to our sala, with soot smeared all over his red suit de gala. He filled all the stockings with lovely regalos. For none of the ninos had been very malos.

I love to hear all the possibilities you guys read into the strips. It really is quite amusing and entertaining, not to mention highly creative.
Thanks for sharing your love and stories with us. We really appreciate you guys.
LillyA- you’re right it should be “chimenea”. We knew that of course. Just keeping you folks alert and on your toes.
Ather- you’re probably right : )
Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone
