When you set out your treats for Santa and his Reindeer: A) Don’t use all of your available carrots in the Christmas Eve soup, otherwise, you’ll have to explain yourself to the children-creatures in your home, and B) It’s nice if you DO use all of the carrots, that you can convince said children the Reindeer would prefer apples, and C) Guess who likes milk more than Santa?  CATS.  At last count, we have 3.  Luckily, while I may be short on carrots, I was able to dig up an old sippy cup lid.  Those cats have no shame, do they?
