Now I'm ready for Santa Pong's arrival...And you?

Bearshire (UK)

Oh, at long last...All is ready the way it has to be.
I can relax.


Don’t you think that after all, this holiday period is a bit stressing, generally speaking?
Maybe it’s because I’m an elderly lady now and get tired more easily, or simply because I have always been a bit non-conformist...


I suppose you all know that the tradition of the Christmas tree decorated with lights was created by Martin Luther himself.
He liked trees very much and once he took a pine tree home and decorated it with candles.
Well the story was more or less like that. I was not there to see.
But maybe you might be interested in knowing that one of my ancestors, Katharina Von Beara, knew Martin Luther’s wife very well, They had similar names and were in a nunnery together, and both of them managed to run away.


But this is, of course, another story.


Let’s come back to the topic without wandering about!
All of you know Santa Pong, of course, the gentle bear who comes at night on the 24th of December.
I’m proud to confirm that he belongs to my family too.
Actually he always starts his night tour from my home and I prepare all kinds of cakes, biscuits and little gifts for him.


What are you thinking...that he’s the one supposed to bring gifts and not receive them???
But we are not speaking of the fat old guy with reindeer; we are speaking of Santa Pong!
By the way if you are around in Bearshire these days you can come along too!

Aunt Violet, that is a lovely tree indeed. I particularly like that shell angel at its tip, and the shy-looking reindeer. You have an eye for suitable tree ornaments. I hope you have a lovely Christmas.

Santa Pong is going to be delighted with all the goodies you have baked for him!
I'll be with you in spirit at Bearshire, Aunt Violet!
