Christmas Eve - Package from Noah

The day before Christmas I received a package from my sock monkey pal, Noah. He is a blogger just like me. If you want to check out his blog sometime, look under my "Blogs I Follow" section and select Existential Sock Monkey. Noah's mom, Kathy, is very talented. She knits, sews, and makes all kinds of wonderful crafts. I was very excited when Noah told me they were sending a package to Laura and me!

Oh boy! What's inside the bag?

First I received a nice Christmas card with my name on the envelope.

Then I found these really cool magnets! Noah made them himself, with a little help from his mom. Noah has a very professional looking business card that he can hand out to others interested in finding his blog. He included one in the package for me.

Then I found this awesome sock monkey tote bag. Noah said his mom made it for Laura, but she can use it to transport me back and forth to the bank or on other adventures. We both LOVE the bag! I jumped into it immediately. We can't thank Noah and his mom enough for sending us these special gifts!

Hi, Big Monkey!

You look really good in your Santa suit. Mom got one for me, too, but it looked stupid. It was made for bears and did not fit me right at all. I did like the hat, though.

You also look really good in that tote bag. We are glad you like the gifties!

Hope you have a happy New Year!

Love, Noah

Noah,

My Santa suit is a bit roomy, but that's OK. It's got room for expansion for this jolly old ape...LOL! I'm sure your mom could make a custom fit Santa suit for you.

Hi, Big Monkey!

That's what I thought, too. I was hoping she would make me a good Santa suit and an elf costume for Puglet. Even though Puglet said he did not want to be an elf, after having to be a candycorn for Halloween. She was too busy knitting to make us Christmas clothes, though.

I think I'll start asking for a Santa Suit in March next year. That should give her plenty of time.

Love, Noah

Noah,

Maybe you can convince Puglet that elves play a very important role when it comes to Christmas. Santa couldn't pull it off without the elves. Looking cute isn't such a bad thing either. Sometimes it helps you get what you want...ha ha! I'm sure your mom will make some really nice outfits for you guys.
