St. Nick Day

St. Nick comes tonight.
I remember how excited we were to see what we were going to get in our stockings. When I was in elementary school I prayed for “cool” colored pens and lip gloss. As I got older, gas gift cards and McDonalds Coupons, etc were always nice. Now, I get more satisfaction in watching other people open their stockings.
I used to think I would miss it, because I mean, if there is one thing Brian has taught me it’s, “who doesn’t like free stuff?”

Yea, sometimes I do miss it, but overall I just love watching other people open them up and see what the big guy has brought them. This year I’m filling Brian’s stocking and the dogs. It should be fun. I’m excited. I’m not sure if Brian thoroughly enjoys the whole St. Nick day tradition my family follows, but I can’t imagine not doing it. He will get the traditional candy but I have a few other surprises I’m going to slip in there as well. I hope he likes it.

The dogs on the other hand will like it no matter what, I already know it. J

I’m trying to prep myself for the Christmas baking weekend, but being in such a blah christmas mood is putting a damper on the plans. Hopefully something will happen that will trigger my desire to celebrate the holidays this year…SOON!

Here are some Santa Stats for you until the next blog…(not that anyone can read this anyway….)

Santa Stats
U.S. has 78 people registered under S. Claus and one under Kriss Kringle
December is the most popular month for nose jobs.
Weight of Santa's sleigh loaded with one Beanie Baby for every kid on earth: 333,333 tons.
Number of reindeers required to pull a 333,333-ton sleigh: 214,206 plus Rudolph.
Average wage of a mall Santa: $11 an hour. With real beard: $20.
To deliver all his gifts in one night, Santa would have to make 822.6 visits per second (at 3,000 times the speed of sound).
At that speed, Santa and his reindeers would instantaneously burst into flames in Earth's atmosphere just like meteors.
