Although I kind of felt sorry for the jackrabbit, Mel's story of his demise is undoubtedly the best of the day. I mean, what are the odds? PM me with your address and the prize is on it's way. Today's prize is an oco geode slice trimmed in 18kt gold plate. Here is a simple quiz question to answer if you want to win the pendant: If you want to get better quality goodies out of ole St. Nick on Christmas morning, what would you put out on the table other than the traditional milk and cookies? Originality and cleverness counts, and it does not have to be rock related! Here's the prize:  Vance |

Hmmm...... A bottle of tequilla, a box of cigars, a new sleigh with " Santy Claws- Bad to the Bone" stenciled across the back and a team of bison and a hooker *L* Santy must be tired of being so nice after all these years of milk and cookies!... Nah, just kidding. Santy Claws don't smoke.... The tequilla, the sled and twin hookers *L*....Mel

twin hookers no way they would be gone before daylight to cold, sleigh to tight of a fit, night to long ecc. that's why he has Mrs. Claws she stands by him though it all ;-)))) the tequilla would make him so tippy he would fall out of the sleigh and not be able to finsh his trip and all the children would cry !! Now as to the stenciled sleigh the paint would be fresh and he would get it on his nice red coat and the bison would be untrained and fall off the house tops=====Ho Ho Ho and a merry chrissmas to all ;-))))

Nothing!
Please let me explain. Naughty and nice are just words to a song and do not enter into the Christmas picture as I see it!
One of the legends of St. Nicholas (aka The Giver) is that a once wealthy man had three daughters, but now he had fallen on hard times and could not pay their dowries. Therefore his three daughters could not marry.
St. Nicholas out of the goodness of his heart wanted to help this family, but he also did not want to wound the man's pride.
Good old St. Nick had the idea to toss a bag of gold through this poor man's window. He did this two nights in a row and when he came on the third night to give his gift to the last daughter, someone had accidently closed the window. He climbed up to the chimney and dropped in the last bag of gold.
Santa Claus represents this wonderful spirit of giving unconditionally. He gives without any thought of what he may get in return.
I believe whole heartedly in this spirit (that is why I love RTH).
So my answer stands!
I could leave nothing that would influence his unconditional gift giving.
Merry Christmas
John

I'd leave him one of those heated back massagers that you put on your car seat. That would help stop him from getting frostbite on that plumbers crack and loosen up those sore muscles from lugging that heavy sack all over creation.

A cold bottle of Heineken, a pack of Camels and a balogna, cheese and pickle sandwich.
That's what we left him when we were kids.

I'd say Santa is too accustomed to attempts at being swayed. Let's face it, kids are brats, and they've undoubtedly tried bribing him with every luxury under the sun in order to get him to overlook their past year of hooliganism. He sees right through that stuff.
Nope, you gotta force his hand. You gotta leave 8x10 glossies of naughty old Santa on the table, depicting his shenanigans at recent office parties...
"If you don't want Mrs. Claus to see what you were doing with that drunken secretary, that postal worker with all of the pent-up frustrations, and the triplets at The Kit-Kat Klub, you'll see that my family gets the A-LIST gifts this year. And make sure my Maserati is purple. Negatives will be destroyed upon receipt.
P.S. I ate your milk and cookies."

I'd give Santa 364 extra days in the year to do what he does best; spread joy, and I would eliminate, wipe out, destroy all the commercialism that has been attached to his good intentions. I would wrap this gift up and place it at the top of the chimney with a great big THANK YOU note for being who he really is: Spreading joy at your own pace without commercial interferrence does not exhaust you, it energizes you.  Then I'ld go to Michaels house and destroy the negatives. lol. |

Vance, I received the pendant yesterday, and it's SO much more beautiful than in the pic! You do fantastic artwork! Thank you very much for providing these wonderful holiday contests, bringing some joy into our lives, and for sharing this spectacular pendant. It's already found a home on my display table, to remind me of a very special holiday season shared with my friends here on RTH.
From my heart, Thank You.
