OH NO! Not Coal......I WAS good....


All day Christmas Eve, Eve, I sang Santa Baby and waited to see what Santa would place in my new stocking.
I was Good, Really good...


I found this in my backyard, right by the edge of the pool deck...OH NO! he did bring me a piece of COAL.


There were three ways this could have  appeared in our yard.

1. Our back yard has a hidden coal mine

2. Bob was hiding it waiting to sneak it in my stocking

3.  The brats kids next door stood on top of their fort and chucked it in the yard trying for a splash down in the pool.

Number 3 gets my vote! NOT that they have done anything like that before. last time it was oranges...

    Maybe the neighbors kids got a visit early from Santa and they were throwing away their gifts :)
    One of the guys at work got a big lump of coal for part of his exchange gift. I think he enjoyed it more than his real gift

    Wow... I got one just like it! Was I on the naughty list? No... Just kidding. Mine was smaller, by the time Santa arrived in Missouri, his gifts were lighter! Giggles early this morning!

    If your suspicion about Nr. 3 turns out to be correct, then you know where you can return the coal ;)

    Morning MS
    We are 200% sure the coal had nothing to do w your behavior and we vote for #3 too....but just to be sure I think Jake and Baby need to do a little digging there could be gold too

    Maybe it was a meteor! I am certain you were good and it was intended for those kids next door! :)

    I vote for #3 also, because I know that Bob would never get you a lump of coal. (It is kinda funny though, lol)

    I too like the monster/brat kids next door theory, Sandra, cause we fellow bloggers know that you are always GOOD. Hope that Santa left you at least one or two surprises.

    I am sure you must have gotten something better than a few lumps of coal.

    Maybe it fell out of the bag Santa has stuffed with coal for all those bad kids, he didn't mean for you to get it in your stocking however. Other than that I would go with #3, they were throwing away their gifts.
    You are a funny lady.

    I just knew you were a good girl and would never get coal in your stocking! My first thought when I saw the photo was that it looked like a meteorite.

    Ask the kids to bring you some more to make it worth while. You can then sell it back to their parents.

    Well, sweet Sandra if you ask me that is one of those gifts that needs to be returned. We know you were good all year so that gift is a mistake! Hugs!
