Default There IS a Santa Clause!!!

And a Mrs. Santa Clause too! I know. They just sent me a US Priority Mail box full of huge chocolate chip COOKIES!

The box is addressed form:
Santa and his Carving Elves
The Big House with Reindeer in the Yard
Too Cold Here, NP 00000

There's even a note inside, Santa and Mrs. Santa wrote me personnally ... AHHH!

It says "Susan, Do you know how hard it is to get cookies past Dasher, Dancers, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen. Rudoplhs no problem. He likes BEER, its how he keeps his nose red you know." S. Clause

So, if you don't see me on the message board this weekend it's because I have snuck off to the closet with my beloved hubby, Michael, and we are over dosing on my favorite addiction - Chocolate Chip COOOOKIES!

Eat you heart out gang ... Oh there is one odd thing about this package. The address says North Pole but the cancelation says Baltimore, MD .... Who do we know who lives in Baltimore and is associated with Santa?

Thanks Goodie! Thanks Anna! I might just be able to get my chocolate level up to do another tutorial here soon

Susan

Ah - you're right Hi-Ho. You have been awfully nice to me recently (since I found my basket full of rotten tomatoes). So you can come along and have a cookie too!

Congratulation Irish.
My Granddaughters and Grandson's Letters Had a cancellation of Caney Ks, but they were from Santa Claus. Try telling them any difference!

Sue,
The chocolate chunks in those cookies come from the Wilbur Chocolate Co. Only A few miles from The WCI headquarters. Wilbur Buds Have a longer History than Hershey Kisses. If your ever up to WCI Take the back roads back to Md thru Amish Country. Now if I could just find the factory that make brass bells up that way???

Glad the Cookies made It.

For wondering minds.
I have accepted a maintenence managers position for a couple of bakerys that makes nothing but desserts for high end restaurants. I was teasing Sue knowing her affection for cookies and Chocolate and was teasing her offline. Anna said I had to apologize so I did and sent her some cookies. I can honestly say I baked them myself. Our Cookie Monster can produce over 5000 cookies / hour.
Goody & Anna
