Oh NO he DIDN'T!!!

If I were to ask you what Christmas means to you, what would you say?  I am going to make a wild guess that your answer involves acts such as sharing and giving. Am I right? My sweet and thoughtful sister Mrs. M has the spirit of Christmas in her heart not just today but everyday. On Monday night, after working an 8 hour workday and commuting an hour home, she found it in her heart to come over and spread joy to us in the form of sweets. Mrs. M is so thoughtful that she made Reindeer Chow {the Chex Mix, Peanut butter, chocolate and powdered sugar dessert} and special cookies. She knew I would enjoy the mix and BBD would enjoy the cookies. How sweet, right?

This morning I thought that Monkey would love one of Auntie's cookies. I went to the pantry...

{I can't believe I am showing you this...}

Do you see cookies? No.

Do you see this? This is the Reindeer Chow...very accessible. That's because I share. But where are the cookies? Hmmm...that's strange. Let me look again...

Do you see them? I sure don't! I know that I'm short and I can reach no higher than the bottom shelf in this picture but they have to be here! I think I'll just lean against this shelf and think about it...

 Is that...? Could that be...

SON OF A NUTCRACKER!!

It is! I know BBD is tall but to put the cookies in the TOP FAR LEFT corner just seems so unnatural for somebody to just hide place them there. AHHH! I think he hid them from Monkey and me!!! Where is his Christmas spirit???

Stay tuned to find out what will happen next. I am so shocked and you just know that I'm not one to just get them down quietly...oh no. Well that's not entirely true...I'll do something quietly...Let me think about this for awhile. I could wrap them as a present, put a note in them...hmmm. There are so many possibilities. Do you have any suggestions?
