Shortly before Christmas this year, Santa Claus, several of his elves, and Santa’s “reindog” Rudolph made a quick visit to my parents house. Peter and my nephew Colton just happened to be over helping their grandparents decorate the Christmas tree at the time of the visit. What great luck! Santa’s elves were a little bit shifty looking, as you can tell from the picture, but they were as jolly as could be. Accompanying Santa were his elves, Shifty, Dicey, Studly, and Flasher. Flasher was the elf with the cigar. Peter is still talking about how kind it was of Santa to take time out of his busy schedule right before Christmas to visit Peter and his cousin.
