Snomes

I've gone into hibernation. My daughter, Fern Long, provided the photo. And I'm depending on all you wonderfully creative and witty visitors to provide a caption. Go ahead, give it a shot.

    Way cool, Ben! Seems I've heard about your cold weather gnomads up there migrating across the plains. :)

    Still locked out of Santa's workshop after the latest round of layoffs, members of the newly formed elf union vow to stand their ground.

    Even Nick thought it was sort of funny the first year, but succeeding episodes of over-soaping the washer was wearing thin. Any moment now, and the disco lights would come on, and the place would start looking like a Barcelona night club rave.

    ...and the only reason Nick puts up with it is that it's tremendously difficult to get elves to bathe, and by the time the soapy mess is cleaned up, they finally smell good enough for the holiday deliveries.

    And if you've ever smelled an unwashed elf, you know what I'm talking about.

    Rumor has it, they're pretty good dancers.

    Raf - yes but I think these gnomads fell out of the sleigh. One of them appears to be calling 911 for help....
    Laurie and Elaine - you guys tie for first place - Laurie gets the prize for brevity and Elaine wins for sustained fantasy.

    Evlahos and Babzy Thankyou and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas.
