Beard in the Chili

Dear Santa

   I was wondering.

   My grandpa has a cool beard kinda like yours but a little shorter.  Everytime we have chili for dinner he ends up dipping his beard in his bowl of chili. I know you've had a beard for a long time, so how do you eat chili?

Dear Billy B.

   What a great question!


   I admit that a bit of chili, or soup, or oatmeal still ends up in my beard, even after all these years. But over the years I have developed the habit of sitting just a little bit further away from the table. This prevents "dipping" my beard in my bowl. Taking smaller bites tends to keep the rest of the beard clean. But sometimes it still gets messy. Then I give Mrs. Claus a big hug and tell her it's because she's such a good cook!

   A messy beard just means that Grandma is a good cook. So go and give her a great big hug, and tell her Thank You.


All my love,
Santa
