"You know, Daddy, they have this stuff now that you just brush into your beard and then you take a shower and all that grey will go away." They beard was the first to succumb to age color variation, you see.
She was seriously serious. So I bought a box of that stuff, wrapped it up and put it under the tree for Christmas morning. From Santa.
And boy did she get excited that morning. Not another present did she open, my hand was grabbed and off to the bathroom we went. She applied it with studious care, if not with a concern for 'neatness'. It was all over the place. I still have that t-shirt I wore all flecked with brown.
I don't much believe in Santa Claus.... but the love of elves is very very real.

Ahh, good story. Memories are the best part of getting older. :) Merry Christmas good friend.
The love of elves is precious indeed. And keeping an old, stained shirt is love in return. What a sweet memory.
There's so much nice Christmas music, but I have a tender spot in my heart for Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" and "I'll Be Home For Christmas."
I hope your Christmas is especially merry and bright — and not overly white with anything that has to be shoveled. ;)
I forgot to ask...ya gonna get snow dear man?
Merry Holidays &stuff Dusty.... no snow and the chance for any by Christmas is almost nil.
Sherry.... merry Christmas to you and the Contrarian! A Packer win over the bears will trump a Santa visit any day!!
SW... she is a good elf. and you can never go wrong with a little Bing during the Holiday
Grey means you have experience and exude class! Right?
A good anti-perspirent means I exude no sweat ;)
