Santa Claus is Coming to Town - on a Camel!!!




Hey everybody! We went to a Christmas party at the Maadi House and Santa Claus was on a camel! The Maadi House is a place where there's lots of food and a playground and a pool for Embassy kids to play. I go there a lot with my family. So Santa came riding in on a camel and then he sat in a chair and we all gave him a present to take to Toys for Tots. When I sat on Santa's lap he asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I told him I couldn't decide! The camel that Santa was riding pooped while it was sitting down on the grass - it was gross! Jacob liked it more than I did, he got on it and rode around the garden. Then the whole family stood by the camel for a picture - even Nanny! I had pancakes and french toast for breakfast there too - it was yummy! Thanks for all the comments - I really like to read them! Merry Christmas everybody - I miss you!

Hi Owen, This is Jack. I thought it was so funny that Santa rides a camel in Egypt! I always wanted to ride on a camel -- I don't know why you wouldn't like it. I've missed you a lot. Merry Christmas! Jack

Hi Owen,
Wow I never saw a Santa on a camel before. Dont worry about not riding the camel you will have plenty of time to do that while you are in Egypt. Just do it when you are ready to do it.

I miss you and your brothers so much.
I love you all lot's,
Grandad oxoxoxoxoxooxo

Hi Owen,
It's your pals back at Parklawn Elementary. We just got your blog information from Mr. Downs. We are having Writer's Workshop and we decided to write to you. We loved reading about the camel pooping! We all laughed when we saw Santa riding on a camel. We all miss you and we're glad to see you are doing well.
Love, Mrs. Shanley and Friends

Hi Owen,
I think Santa on a camel is cool. Hope he brings you and your brothers all that you wish for. Auntie Eve and I will be in new York for the Christmas and Auntie Meg and (soon to be ) Uncle Brian will be in VA with his family but we will all be thinking of you boys and Mommy and Daddy and Nanny.

Hello Owen and Merry Christmas! It's so cool to read your blog. It seems like you're having a fabulous time, but we miss you here as well. So Santa came to your pool and you gave him presents? I think someone should tell him he has it all mixed up!! Just kidding. Have a great holiday and our give our love to the rest of your family!
