We’re not religious but we like celebrating so this year we did both Hanukah and Christmas. Above is the note Simone left Santa. It is a two-sided plea to find out what Santa most likes to eat in the middle of the night. We left blackberries and blueberries for the reindeer and home-made anise cookies for Santa with a glass of milk. One of the reindeer walked right over David who had fallen asleep on the couch and left a few footprints. Santa left Simone a note on the plate itself thanking her for the delicious snack. I was relieved as I feared Santa might order up a steak for next year while he had the chance.
