While skipping merrily along the boardwalk, my great, great grandfather, whose name was Malcom, by the way, found a small, dusty shoppe with mice scurrying about in the dirty plate window. Now, Malcom was not a man of great wealth, so finding the right gift to woo Angelina would be tricky! So he jiggled the door knob, found it open and started looking for a treasure! And low and behold, there in the back corner, were the most beautiful ornaments of burgundy anyone (or pet) had beheld! Dickering with the mice for some imported cheeses and a little GM, he bagged up his treasures and went merrily on his way.

While out doing the dreaded neccessary shopping and searching for the elusive 'perfect' gifts, Malcom stopped into the local coffee shop for cookies and cocoa.

After accidentally dropping his brand new JPhone in a puddle, he wandered into the nearest electronics store to get a new one, when he was tickled to see that among the rows and aisles of all things cellphones, there were some beautiful handcrafted Robin ornaments.

With the new JPhone tucked in his vest pocket and encased in a new BotterBox, (waterproof!), Maclom came across Count the Piggle Bassist jamming on the corner, with his silk top hat on the sidewalk for donations.

Samantha is questing! Episode 11/25

My great, great grandfather was generous to a fault, and despite all the hours he spent in the dark factory, building water pumps to be shipped all over the world, he never really made all the ends meet.

Beautiful ornaments! Some like what he had already and some were new! Oh how he hoped she would like them!

Malcom described himself as being like gravity, why you ask? Because he always said the only difference between him and gravity, was that he could dance a fine jig and down a pint quickly!

And Ted E Bear was just one of the friends Malcom made and took home to the group, making sure no one was ever alone, espcially at the holiday!

"Ok! OK! Keep your paws off the tree!" yelled Samantha, as he glanced up from the scrapbook and storytelling to remind the kids that the tree was for looking, not touching.

He found some royal purple ornaments, sure to impress Angelina!

And with a resounding YES, Malcom and Angelina were engaged on Christmas Eve.
