Internet chit-chat about the people we meet when we cross paths with friends and strangers. And cute little stories about my family are thrown in for good measure.

The Lighter Side of Christmas - A 2014 Christmas Story
I was visiting my nine-year old grandson one cold and overcast December Saturday. Delighted to see me,
he gave me a warm hug and immediately displayed his newest app on his smart phone - a Santa meter.
He held it up to my face and explained, "The Santa meter decides whether you've been naughty or nice."
As he pushed the meter activation button, my eyes became wide with anticipation.
We both watched as the meter needle swung to the naughty side, bounced and then suddenly became very still.
Then the app crashed. He looked at me, confused, and then he cried out, "You broke it!"
I smiled and nodded as he ran away. Cuz that's how I roll Santa.
The End
