Santa's On Board!

Santa came on board and visited with each of the children and gave them a silver bell from the reindeer's harness. This is straight from the book. (That is why Everett is checking for a pocket in his PJ pants.) The best part was that Everett looked at the bell that Santa gave him and said, "No, I wanted a purple car." He was mad that Santa wasn't giving him what he had asked for! Oh, that boy! Lionel slept through Santa, but not through all the very loud Christmas carols.
