Tne best gift of all I received was that a lost family member showed up two days before Christmas. Sorry, Enik. That beats a Sleestak any day.
Sleestak live in the Lost City, which is sometimes foggy with special-effects dry ice. Here's some Christmas music from another Fog, the famous "Velvet Fog" Mel Torme: Also, I noticed that this morning's "Grand Rapids Press" has a front-page feature on Michigan home-town hero Bob Seger. I first discovered his version of "Little Drummer Boy" last year, and love it: Remember, this is the first of the Twelve Days of Christmas. Did anyone get a partridge in a pear tree?

Have a great Christmas. Sounds like you already have.
Appearance of a lost family member? Priceless! Merry Christmas, Mr. and Mrs. dmarks!
That is so wonderful that your family member showed up! I'm glad you enjoyed your holiday.
I love the velvet frog!
Wow! That gift is a real treasure! Sweet.
Love the videos, too!

A very memorable Christmas, sounds like!
I also really like that Bob Seger version of Little Drummer Boy.
I am happy to report that no one has tried to give me a bunch of birds...those first four days are brutal!
Wow, one of the greatest nicknames in the history of western civilization and the fellow didn't even apprciate it. Unbefrigginglievable.
From this obituary page of Mel Torme:
...he was crowned "the Velvet Fog" – a sobriquet he always hated."

Yeah. Birds can get angry.
I would definitely take the "velvet fog" over the "corduroy smog", or the "gabardine......
