NYC, those pictures make me think of Windmill cookies that my grandmas gave us.  They were shaped like windmills and had sliced almonds on or in them.  Of course, I couldn't find those cookies today on a bet.  But some days I'd like to.

Since I am the only one awake, I am amusing myself with You Tube again.  First I watched the Hayes Boys doing the Too Fat Polka.  I love that song.  Somehow I wound up finding this clip.  Now I'm sure you big city types think there's some goofy stuff going on in Nebraska but from the looks of this, there's some pretty wacky stuff going on in New Jersey. 

I think these guys were the winners of this particular contest.

Go ahead and laugh your azz off, I did.

I see Peaces, is your grandmother or are your grandmothers ever been in the Netherlands?
When your grandmother(s) was there, maybe she was to the windmills park.

Are u ever traveled to the Netherlands?
When u want to go ever, the windmills can u see in De Zaanse Schans, that is 11 miles from Amsterdam.
And don't forget to invite Volendam, that is 14 miles from Amsterdam.
There are many things to do when u like fish.
And u can make your own pictures in this clothes.

Cool Klaasend! I have so long blonde hair also. 

[MuffyBee]

   Am trying to visualize the monkey face in your avi with long blonde hair, Klaas.     I guess I figured you as a brunette. 

[klaasend]

Muffy - my natural hair color hasn't seen the light of day since I was 15.  Originally it was blonde but was getting dirtier blonde so I started lightening it when I was 15 (myself) and have been doing it (myself) ever since.  That's a long, long, long, long time, lolol    I suppose my "natural" color would include alot of grey now 

[klaasend]

PLEASE BE ON THE LOOKOUT - if you are in the Texas/Oklahoma area for this man, or his car.

O/T

Anyone in the Houston area - please be on the lookout for this missing person:

Dear Santa,
I have given up trying to write you all the requests from monkeys so I am going to fax the rest of my list to you.  I hope your sleigh has all the necessary computers for such a task since I am sure you are getting ready to begin your journey on the other side of the world first.  Tibro is the first stop on your trip.  I can't quite understand why she gets to have Christmas before us...but then again she is one swell monkey.

I faxed all the rest of the monkeys requests to 1-234-Candycane. I hope that is the right number.  You have to have a fax in this day and age...look it's not my fault I was behind with my list.  I had to check it once and then check it twice...you know...."naughty or nice".  Well, have a safe trip Santa and don't forget us monkeys on this side of the globe tomorrow night.  Oh, and be careful when you land at Robots house he's been known to have a few tricks up he sleeve...hmmmm...do robots have sleeves?  And please be extra careful when you land at San's...remember she's the one with all the guns.  Just tell her I sent you and...well...you better wait until she's alseep. 

What's that Santa?  Oh yes...I almost forgot...

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL THE MONKEYS!!!!!

I am the lucky Monkey who got to have lunch with Lalas and Mishy yesterday, and I want everyone to know that they are both dolls! They are just as wonderful in person as they seem to be here, and meeting them made my Christmas special. 

[LouiseVargas]

Very beautiful long blonde wavy hair, Klaas. Yours looks thick. It is much longer than I can grow mine. A big thumbs up on your hair. You are beautiful.

[crazybabyborg]

Oh, Klaas! WHAT I would give for that head of hair!!!!

It's so think, shiny and healthy! You're a knockout, girl, and if you don't usually wear it down, you should! If you got it, FLAUNT it! 

[mrs. red]

It is gorgeous hair Klaas!!!

Maybe I will talk Red into posting our tree....(yours is beautiful...)

CBB.... I hear you about going out into the mobs... Klaas, I never made it yesterday despite all my whinning...  I hope you are feeling better soon too... the damn cough is going to make me postal in a minute...I had to go today... I had plans about cooking a nice dinner but just going out made me so tired.... that red had grilled cheese for dinner... .

Klaas I told him if he didn't go shopping with me he would be having oatmeal for Christmas dinner.... 
Peaches I saw the report... I don't know what it means, maybe you could talke to Tyler or SunFreak... they both have a lot of medical knowledge... SunFreak is a retired doctor, isn't she?

I asked Santa to remind him about those pearls.

OOPS!  I hit submit before I was finished...too many things to do and so little time.  I just found out one of Santa's biggest secrets...you won't believe this...he flies around with white boomers for half of the trip.  That's a kangaroo. I was amazed when I heard it too...now I know.  He changes from kanagaroos to reindeer just as he enters the Northern Hemisphere.  That makes sense..it's kind of like refueling in flight.


Yes, I met BT yesterday.  It was great!  She's not a dwarf as she claims, but let's just say, I felt tall for a change..that was until Mishy got there and then I was short again.  We had a great time!

Lala's! I can't believe you found out about the boomers!!!! I've known P. Bear at Santa's workshop for years, and that's a real trade secret! With all the satelites and missions they've sent into space, the boomers were Santa's answer to high tech. BTW, Santa's been sharing your letters with P. Bear and the Elves and they've been getting a real kick out of them. They said they'll be glad when it's time for Santa to actually get airborne, so that your letters won't cause anymore overtime!

Well, since you've let out confidential information, I'm going to as well. Santa really enjoys all the cookies left for him to help him get through the night, but I bet you didn't know that he takes the sugar cookies to the reindeer and boomer teams. They LOVE them! Santa's eats the chokky treats,(Mrs. Clause has been keeping an eye on his cholesterol, and he doesn't get as many desserts as he used to.) She's laughingly accused his beard of turning white because of all the snow he's rubbed in it to remove the tell tale signs of chokky!

They're doing their annual world weather checks right now. Rudolf always gets antsy this time of year. No decision yet whether he'll lead the team this year. Oh, they always let him go, but only use him as lead when there's bad weather. Donner keeps an eye on him because he's telling everyone that he's developed telepathic abilities and "feels" heavy fog through his antlers!!   :reindeer:  Donner doesn't give up the lead easily, and suggested that he could remove his problem. 

Well, I've got decoration boxes to put away, and find room for stuff in the refrigerator. IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE!!!!!
