Twas the Night Before. . .

Before the Midnight Mass the keeper had Christmas Eve dinner and Santa with her godson and his family.  The presence of MG, age 9, brought a whole new flavor to the celebration. First, MG received a call from the elf LeRoy who was now in the air from San Francisco checking her list for the final time. LeRoy had an Irish brogue. Hope he had his visa.

Patrick was checking the Santa app from NORAD to ascertain Santa's whereabouts.

 Patrick thought he heard sleighbells.  MG rushed to check. But...

false alarm.
