They worried that Santa would not be able to get in to drop off gifts. I told them that Santa had a magic key that opened all doors. ;) It worked. :)Jennifer Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05489870773549675036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-76131874679575798242011-12-30T15:40:39.940+00:002011-12-30T15:40:39.940+00:00Another two great pages of memories Sian...and am ...Another two great pages of memories Sian...and am so pleased that Storytelling Sunday is continuing in 2012!<br />Alison xxAlisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085826005055196079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-62333103451494373732011-12-30T15:15:45.389+00:002011-12-30T15:15:45.389+00:00Those are wonderful little Christmas memories you&...Those are wonderful little Christmas memories you've preserved!

I'm going to try and make every one of your storytelling days - I know I have lots more than 12 stories in me. I am undaunted by your suggestion to make the first one more momentous than the others. I'm just going to tell them in the order they come to me - when they've rattled around up there a few days, I'll put them down to get them out of my head. I will do pictures and words - I never realized how much I liked writing until I started to blog. Thanks for spurring me on, Sian.
