Mr. Peeps

Also in the package from Santa, was this magic elf! Here is the letter that came with him....

Christmas is approaching, and this is the day

Santa has sent Mr. Peeps to your house to stay.

He sent this small elf to your house and mine.

Soon after Thanksgiving, He must be on time.

Mr. Peeps has a purpose. His purpose will be,

To whisper to Santa all the good that he sees.

Soon after he gets here, he moves only at night

To high places, to low places, he stays in plain sight.

In the kitchen, for instance, he sits high on a shelf.

Mr. Peeps can sit anywhere, for he is an elf.

He holds very still when he thinks you are watching.

His magic is precious, it fades with on touching.

He sits on the tree on Christmas Eve day.

He knows that Santa is soon on his way.

He waits and he waits without making a noise.

He waits until Santa arrives with the toys

So you better be nice and mind what you say

Because Mr. Peeps will tell Santa when he comes with his sleigh.

Once Christmas is here and Santa has come,

Mr. Peeps must leave, for his job is well done.

But, he will return next year on the same very day,

To watch your behavior as you work and you play.

So we put Mr. Peeps on the kitchen shelf and he watch the kids and I play with Legos on the table. The kids later took a shower and brushed their teeth and when they climbed into bed they noticed Mr. Peeps was on top of our bedroom window! We couldn't believe it! He really IS watching us!
