the Christmas Cookies
Early Christmas morning, just before sunrise, Santa was on his way to deliver the last of his presents....
He took the last gifts out of his bag, to put them under the tree....
As he put the gifts under the tree, he wondered if they'd put out their cookies that he loved so much....
Yes they had! "Wow, look at all the goodies they've put out for me!"
He turned to the toys seated on the bench.
"Hope you don't mind if I join you?"
"This house always has the best cookies!"
He suddenly realized that the sun was almost up, and it was time to leave....
"Now to head back to the North Pole, and relax for a few days..."
"Now to head back to the North Pole, and relax for a few days..."
No sooner had he left, but Holly and Coco came downstairs..... most of the treats were gone, and there was a note.....
"It's from Santa!"
Coco began to read..... "Dearest Holly and Coco,".........
."He knows who we are?!?!"........."What does he say??"
He says..."I always look forward to coming to your house every Christmas Eve, not only because you are both such good little children, but also because you always put out the most delicious treats. When I dropped in last night, I was overwhelmed by all the delicious goodies you had left out for me."
"I’m normally not so greedy, and usually just take a bite or two (I have to watch my waistline) but after tasting a few of your cookies, I just had to take all the rest home to let Mrs. Santa and the Elves have a taste too. I hope you don’t mind."
"Which brings me to the point of this letter. If it wouldn’t be too much trouble, I’d love to have the recipes for all the delicious things you made for me. I know Mrs. Claus, the Elves, and I, would be very grateful."
"You can mail the recipes to….Santa Claus, North Pole, H0H 0H0 Canada Or email them to… [email protected]
Thank you so very much!! Love, Santa"
Thank you so very much!! Love, Santa"
Just then, Lonnie and Milo came down. "What are you two up to?? You didn't just eat all those cookies did you?"
"No, Santa took them all. He left a letter..."
"No, Santa took them all. He left a letter..."
"Let me see that. It looks legitimate enough."
"Can you help us send him the recipes??"
"Can you help us send him the recipes??"
"I'll clean up all these dishes...and get Grandma's recipe books"
Milo went to get his laptop...
"All the recipes we used are in these books..."
The girls found the recipes they had used...
And Milo typed them all up....
After a while......"There we go. All done"
Back at the North Pole, with all the Christmas hustle and bustle behind him, Santa finally had time to relax and check his emails....
"Oh look. they've sent the recipes!"
"These are the best cookies ever!"
"Well, now we can make them ourselves.."
"Dearest Holly & Coco......Thanks so much for the recipes!
The elves agree that your cookies are the best we've ever tasted!"
The elves agree that your cookies are the best we've ever tasted!"
"Thanks again for typing them all out, and sending them to me. Sincerely, Santa Claus"
"I'll take another!"
"I'll take another!"
